Adam Ruzicka scores first NHL goal to put Flames up 3–1 in San Jose

Calgary Flames rookie Adam Ruzicka is on the board.

The 22-year-old centre scored his first National Hockey League goal in the second period of his team’s game against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.

With the Flames already leading 2–1, Ruzicka picked up the rebound of a long-range Chris Tanev shot in front of the Sharks net and patiently deposited the rebound for his first goal in his fifth NHL game.

Brad Richardson picked up the secondary assist on the goal. Here’s the video of the play, as posted to Twitter by Bleacher Report Open Ice:

Go to the net, kid
