Alain Nasreddine’s first and only NHL goal (courtesy Sidney Crosby)

Through the wonders of the internet, a portal back in time came to attention about a random NHL goal. And a random goal indeed for former Penguin defender Alain Nasreddine.

In fact, take a moment to watch, it’s the only one of his NHL career.

(Tweet is mis-dated by a year, the game was actually December 16, 2006. As someone who writes thousands of words per week, it’s not tough to do)

What a singular goal to score for Nasreddine. It was assisted by two Hall of Famers (Mark Recchi and the sublime pass from Sidney Crosby), was a nice goal right before the buzzer to end the period AND all happened in Nasreddine’s home town of Montreal.
