'I think I blacked out': Penguins' Dumoulin scores 1st goal in over 800 days

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin scored his first regular-season goal in over 800 days in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was his first regular-season goal since Dec. 15, 2014 - a stretch of 150 games.

When asked about how the goal transpired, Dumoulin provided quite a humorous remark.

"I think I blacked out," he told Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

As a stay-at-home, shutdown defenseman, Dumoulin's job isn't to be scoring goals - the Penguins have enough high-end talent to take care of that. Although, the injury-hit team will surely take any contributions it can get.

Dumoulin now has two goals and 30 assists over his 161-game career. He did, however, score two goals in 24 playoff games last spring during Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup-winning playoff run.
