Glenn Gawdin Delivers Feel-Good Story In Rangers’ Win Over Canucks
Journeying through the minor leagues for nearly a decade after his selection in the 2015 draft, veteran forward Glenn Gawdin finally made his mark in the top tier on Friday evening. Playing in front of a contingent of cheering loved ones in his home province, the twenty-nine-year-old scored his maiden goals in the major professional circuit to propel his new squad to a five-to-one victory over Vancouver.
Having recently inked a contract with the organization ahead of the campaign, Gawdin was summoned from the affiliate club earlier in the month to help cover an absence in the lineup. After capitalizing on a defensive miscue by the opposing goaltender in the middle frame, he quickly added a second tally moments later by redirecting a teammate's shot.
Following the contest, the bench boss praised the forward for seizing the memorable opportunity in front of his hometown supporters.
