What happened: Ivar Stenberg, the No. 2 pick in the 2026 draft, converted on the power play for his first NHL goal. He finished from net-front positioning during the 2026-27 regular season.

Why it matters: The goal puts the rookie on the board early in his first NHL season. It signals an immediate man-advantage role for a top-two selection.

What to watch: Upcoming games will show whether he holds a regular power-play shift.
