Petan soaks in Garden's glory before sniping first NHL goal

BOSTON — There are the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup banners, six of them in all, and a ton of Celtics history hangs from the rafters of TD Garden.

Winnipeg Jets center Nicolas Petan, center, celebrates with Chris Thorburn (22) and Andrew Copp (9) after his goal against Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, of Finland, during the third period of an NHL hockey game in Boston.

There are 10 Bruins numbers hanging, too, honouring legends such as Phil Esposito, Ray Bourque, Cam Neely, Eddie Shore and, of course, Bobby Orr.

Nic Petan, who scored his first NHL goal in Winnipeg’s 6-2 win Thursday night, felt he owed himself a moment to soak all that in earlier in the day.
