In Mario Lemieux’s highly anticipated NHL debut, he scored his first career goal on his very first shift and first shot on net. Starting in the defensive zone, Lemieux disrupted Ray Bourque's attempt at the blue line, sending the puck into the neutral zone and springing himself on a breakaway. The tall, incredibly gifted centerman showcased his speed and soft hands, racing down the ice and tucking in a backhander. Winning the Calder Trophy, Lemieux completed his rookie season with 100 points, marking the beginning of his magnificent career.
