Jordan Eberle's first goal as a member of the New York Islanders was a thing of beauty.
The former Edmonton Oilers forward corralled a pass from Anders Lee, pulled it between his legs, then fired a wicked backhand over the blocking glove of Buffalo Sabres netminder Robin Lehner on Friday night.
If this is just a sample of what is to come from Eberle in an Islanders uniform, the club should be mighty pleased with their new acquisition.
