Watch: Kapanen buries timely 1st career goal for Maple Leafs
by from on (#2JH98)
Kasperi Kapanen is on the board, and it could not have come at a better time.
With his Toronto Maple Leafs down a goal in the third period of a fairly huge game, the rookie - originally drafted by Pittsburgh - buried the puck past Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury for the first goal and point of his career.
How did scoring his first NHL goal feel for @kasperikapanen1? "I can't really tell you, I blacked out for a bit there."

Full credit to defenseman Matt Hunwick for the ridiculous no-look pass to set it up.
