Strauss Mann, who guards the net for the Laval Rocket, the Canadiens' affiliate team, has notched his very first career goal.
In a bid to press for an advantage, the Rochester Americans removed their goaltender for an extra field player. However, the plan backfired when they inadvertently sent the puck zooming into their own goal.
With Mann being the last Laval player to have made contact with the puck before the self-goal, he was duly credited with the score.
