Getting your player ready...
The rookie is on the board.
Colorado Avalanche center Alex Newhook scored his first career NHL goal against the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 of the first round Stanley Cup playoffs.
Coincidentally, Avs defenseman Cale Makar also scored his first goal in the playoffs … in Game 3 of the first round in 2019.
Newhook, 20, was drafted by the Avs in the first round of the 2019 NHL draft with the 16th pick.
The future is bright for the talented young buck.
Check out his first career goal below.
The pride and joy of St. John's, Newfoundland, , with his first playoff goal!
