Last game wasn’t a great goal, though I think it was tipped (from way out). But this year I couldn’t tell you whether the first goal was bad or not. I suspect that was the first “first shot” goal this year though - there may have been one against Dallas in the 7-4 win. Statistically, it happens every once in a while no matter how good a goalie is.
The game before the first goal came at about 5 minutes. I rather doubt it was the first shot but couldn’t tell you. I do know it was not a bad goal.
Game before that it was about at 15 minutes and the game before that it was at 6 minutes. But still the first goal. And it was Vladar.
The thing is, I prefer to look at the actual goal than paint it according to a statistic.
