Colorado Avalanche winger Nail Yakupov is known for being a supposed first-overall bust — not for being a guy who scores goals that are literally hard to credit. (Ie. incredible) However, his first two tallies for the Avalanche are just that.
Colorado faced the Boston Bruins in TD Garden, and they won the game 4-0. Goals number three and four came from Colorado’s newest winger, Nail Yakupov. Both came in the third period.
The first of Yakupov’s goals came on a bad over-play by Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask. The veteran netminder had allowed two goals on just five shots in the first period, though he tightened it down in the second.
