Milestone Moment

Jeff Malott’s power play goal in the first period of last night’s game checked off multiple milestones for the forward. First off, the goal was the Waterdown, Ont. product’s 80th career tally, all scored as a member of the Moose. That moves him into a tie with Lee Goren and JC Lipon for fifth on the franchise’s all-time goal-scoring list. As Malott’s team-leading 20th goal of the season, it marked the third consecutive season he reached the mark. The Cornell University alum is one of four players to lead the Moose in goals in two separate season. If he finishes the season atop the team’s list, he would be the only player to lead the team in three seasons. The goal was also Malott’s 45th point (20G, 25A) of the campaign, which marks a new career high.

Good as Gold(er)

Forward Carson Golder picked up his second assist of the season in last night’s contest while playing in his home province professionally for the first time.
