Denis Gurianov left this season with a memento earned in an unconventional fashion. After the Stars were eliminated in the second round by St. Louis, Gurianov took home the puck from his first NHL goal, coupled with a picture from the day and framed in a keepsake.
Gurianov scored his first goal Nov. 10 against Nashville when a Ben Gleason shot deflected off his knee and into the net. It was the only goal Gurianov scored with the Stars this season despite his most productive season in the AHL that earned him action in 21 NHL games this season.
