First NHL Goals - 2016–17 Edition

[uncleben]

EDIT: Data lost in migration - 113 first-goals scored!

I took over for this last year. Well enough received.
Figured I'd start it up this year.
I'll try to keep it updated to the best of my ability.


Goals
[sup]1[/sup] Kuraly's goal was scored in the playoffs; he has never scored a regular season NHL goal.
[sup]2[/sup] Gaudreau's goal was scored in the playoffs; he has never scored a regular season NHL goal.


And of course, with every first-goal you will hear fans lament, "Why do players always score their first against us?"

Last year, Ottawa had the most first-goals against, with an impressive 9.
They started off strong by having the first goal of the 2016–17 NHL season scored against them by Auston Matthews - his first career NHL goal.
Most first-goals for last year was a tie between Chicago and Carolina, at 7 each.

Three picks from the top 4 of draft scores in their first game. Must be some kind of record?

And the one who hasn't was considered the ballsy pick

I dont believe Dubois is in the NHL though is he?

 

[antiqueslivers]

the top picks of the last couple drafts have been fantastic! Haven't been this amp'd for nhl in almost 30 years

Replays on all goals (minus Shore because apparently all footage of that game has been destroyed or something).
All gifs switched to larger gifvs too

 

[dire wolf]

Nick Baptiste scored his first last night for BUF against VAN. One of the weirder first goals. The refs waved off the goal on the grounds that Nick Deslauriers had directed the puck in the net with his body. Toronto reviewed the situation for about 10 minutes and determined that the goal was good (probably because after Des hit it, it richocheted off of two Canucks and finished with Edler kicking the puck in the net). Then Vancouver made a coach's challenge and claimed goalie interference. The refs quickly overruled that challenge and awarded Buffalo the goal. The problem then was figuring out who to award it to. They wound up giving it to Baptiste who had lobbed it up into the crease area.

Hahaha that's great!

When I was going over boxscores at the end of the games last night to see if there were any relevant goals it had Deslauriers in the boxscore.
Thank you! I probably never would have gone back to notice haha


I have added 10/20/16 - Nick Baptiste (BUF) vs. (VAN), but curious if I should keep the replay I put in the OP:

or this one:

second one you can see what actually happens, but you can't really see Baptiste shooting it clearly
