CBS Sportsline's recap of Juha's first goal: The Coyotes were killing a penalty and trailing 4-3 late in the third period, but rookie Juha Ylonen scored his first NHL goal with 4:04 to play. Ylonen came out of the defensive zone and raced between two defenders in the neutral zone. With Kevin Haller draped all over him, Ylonen stuffed a wrist shot off Kirk McLean's left pad. (Carolina went on to win the game 5-4)
"It was beautiful.... I remember him coming down the ice, and it was like each section he skated past rose to their feet 'cuz everyone in AWA wanted that goal for him sooooo bad. And when he got it, everyone in the building was on their feet! :)" (Thanks Lori )
