A historic event took place Friday night in the NHL

As my colleague Alex Dery mentioned earlier, the New Jersey Devils were playing their first game of the season on Friday night when they hosted the Chicago Blackhawks.

In this 4-3 overtime win for the Devils, Dougie Hamilton made a big splash by scoring after only 17 seconds. The new Devils' member became the first defenseman to score a goal so quickly with his new team.

But that's not all the excitement as Jack Hughes scored a spectacular winning goal in overtime. Worthy of a circus performance, no less! WOW! Hughes closed out the game with a brace.

Following the majestic goal, Hughes, who is establishing himself as the cornerstone of his team, threw his stick into the stands towards a fan.

Isn't hockey great, folks?
