After 79 games and 106 shots on goal, Riley Sheahan is finally on the board.
The Detroit Red Wings forward has endured an inexplicably long goal drought, but, in the final game ever to be played at Joe Louis Arena, Sheahan finally scored his first goal of 2016-17, roofing the puck past New Jersey goaltender Cory Schneider.
Sheahan's last goal came exactly one year ago, in the season finale against the New York Rangers on April 9, 2016.
