Newark, N.J. —There was an extra little emotion, a vigorous fist pump, after Darren Helm scored his first of two goals Thursday against Montreal.
Helm had a sound explanation for it, even though it’s not like it was his first goal of the season.
It was actually his second. But…
“That was my first goal that I scored against a goalie in net this year,” Helm said. “So, I was pretty happy about it.”
That first goal this season was against Arizona Dec. 3 when goalie Anders Lindback ventured out of his net too far.
