Jaromir Jagr, Derick Brassard and Ryane Clowe have company in the “scoring a goal in your first game with a new team” club, as Marian Gaborik finished off a fabulous Brandon Dubinsky setup for his inaugural tally as a member of the Columbus Blue Jackets:
Gaborik also collected an assist on James Wisniewski’s power-play marker and had a partial breakaway that was turned aside by Pekka Rinne.
It’s too early to call any of these moves slam dunks, but at least these players are providing instant gratification for excited fans.
