The grandson of the late Wellington Mara scored his first career NHL goal Thursday night against the Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist.
Patrick Brown, 23, a right wing for the Carolina Hurricanes, put up his first two pro points in his 10th career NHL game, including his first finish at 11:05 of the first period to open scoring in a 4-3 defeat of the visiting Blueshirts.
Fittingly, he had his breakout game against New York, where his late grandfather, Mara, was the longtime owner of the NFL’s Giants.
