Vernon Fiddler picked a great night to score his first of the postseason.
The veteran center was celebrating his 36th birthday as his Dallas Stars took on the St. Louis Blues in Game 6 on Monday, and he made the trip from Edmonton worth it for his proud parents.
He also achieved a somewhat-rare feat with the tally.
Fiddler is 3rd player in last 25 years to score on 36th/older birthday:
