A couple late-coming notes on Jonathan Ericsson’s goal that I thought I’d share…
With the goal, Ericsson became only the third last-overall pick to score an NHL playoff goal. He’s the only one to do it in his playoff debut. He’s also the lowest pick to ever score a playoff goal, having been selected 291st overall.
Andy Brickley scored one career playoff goal after being selected at 210 in the 1980 Entry Draft and Kim Johnsson has two playoff goals after going 286th overall in 1994.
