The moribund Colorado Avalanche got a glimpse of a brighter future Thursday night.
Highly touted prospect Tyson Jost fired a wrister past Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk from in tight to notch his first NHL goal.
Jost was playing his fourth game with the Avalanche after signing with the club last week.
He left the University of North Dakota after the conclusion of his freshman season, in which the 19-year-old scored 16 goals and piled up 35 points in 33 games.
Jost was taken 10th overall by Colorado in last year's draft.
