Quality over quantity.

It took Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl 17 games to score his first NHL goal, but when he did, boy was it something to behold.

Kuhnhackl picked up a loose puck early in the second period and - after flipping it past Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman - broke in all alone, going bar-down on Ben Bishop with a beautiful backhand release.

Not bad for your first.
