Grabner's game winner against his former team put him in exclusive company.
It was probably a special night, for Michael Grabner for three reasons in particular:
- He scored against his former NHL team. After spending five seasons and scoring 90 goals for the New York Islanders, he got to enact the sweetest revenge: scoring his first-ever goal against them.
- It was the 100th goal of his career, which is always really cool.
- With that goal, he became just the second Austrian-born player ever to score 100 goals in the NHL.
