Marc McLaughlin will remember March 31, 2022 for the rest of his life.
The Bruins rookie not only got to play his first NHL game with the team he grew up cheering for, but he also found the back of the net!
McLaughlin spent his early days in North Billerica, Mass., less than 40 minutes away from the TD Garden. One can only imagine the joy he felt when he found the back of the net in front of family and friends last night.
The goal was a memorable one for the hometown kid, but it's also adding McLaughlin's name to a short list in the B's history books.
By scoring in his NHL debut, the forward became just the fifth Massachusetts-born player to do so with the Bruins. The others to do it before him were Ryan Donato (Mar. 19, 2018), Frankie Vatrano (Nov. 7, 2015), Shawn Bates (Oct. 2, 1997) and Hago Harrington (Dec. 29, 1925).
It just makes the feat that much cooler for the local kid!
