What a night for the new Montreal Canadiens forward, Patrik Laine.
After announcing earlier in the day that he would be playing his first game with the Habs against the New York Islanders, he received a magical welcome from the Bell Centre crowd.
Then, the dream scenario unfolded as Laine scored his first goal with the Montreal Canadiens in his debut game!
What a moment!

He wanted to play!
