Eric Bolte / USA TODAY Sports
Anthony Beauviller's already far along in his rookie season, but the treatment and emotions of being a freshman were on display during a special moment Thursday night in his first NHL game played in his home province of Quebec.
Beauviller scored within the first few shifts at Bell Centre, and among his 50 friends and family in attendance was a proud father who couldn't hide his emotions.
