With his parents at the top of Mullett Arena in a suite, Josh Doan scored two goals, including the go-ahead tally, in his first NHL game, and the Arizona Coyotes defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-2 on Tuesday night.

Doan, son of the Coyotes' longtime captain and all-time goal leader Shane Doan, scored an unassisted goal in the second period to put Arizona ahead 2-1, backhanding the puck past Columbus netminder Elvis Merzlikins at close range. He scored the winner in the third period, deflecting the puck past Merzlikins right in front of the crease at the 8:29 mark.

"I almost missed it," Shane Doan, speaking on the Coyotes' postgame telecast on Scripps Sports, said of his son's first goal. "It's so cool."

Stars Unveil Statue Of Mike Modano

Mar 17, 2024 2:45 PM

The Dallas Stars unveiled a statue of Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Modano during Saturday night's 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings.

Modano is the franchise leader in goals, assists and games played.

"It's hard to put into words what this has meant," Modano said after wiping away tears following a one-minute standing ovation. "Thirty years ago we got on a plane in 1993 to come here (when the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas) and didn't know what to expect. Five years later we gave you a Stanley Cup in 1999. ... We feel we've turned Dallas into a hockey town."
