Connor Brickley wanted this one.

After having a goal called back earlier in Tuesday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes, the Florida Panthers rookie simply wouldn't be denied, eventually scoring his first career goal on Eddie Lack.

The milestone was the culmination of a rush into the offensive zone, where Brickley found himself positioned in front of Lack for the tap-in while falling to the ice. It also proved to be the game-winner in the 4-1 decision.

The 23-year-old, who was drafted 50th overall in 2010, scored 22 goals in 73 AHL games last season.
