Watch: Texas native Coleman scores 1st NHL goal vs. Stars

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

Scoring your first NHL goal is one thing. But turning the trick against your hometown team?

That was the case for New Jersey Devils forward Blake Coleman, as the Plano, Texas native netted his first on Sunday against the Dallas Stars.

After scooping the puck from Stars defenseman John Klingberg, Coleman drove to the crease and beat Kari Lehtonen on his blocker side, picking up his second point of the season.

Coleman is one of five Texans to skate in the NHL this season, alongside Tyler Myers, Seth Jones, Nicolas Kerdiles, and teammate Stefan Noesen.
