WOW | McDonough told quite the story in an emotional post-game interview

He tucked it in after a nice effort from Jack Studnicka and Sheldon Dries, see the replay here:

After the game, he gave quite an emotional interview reminiscing about the old days. It's well-known that he and Jack Rathbone are good friends, McDonough was asked to describe his feelings when he scored and what it meant to have him by his side for this defining career moment:

Rathbone added to it, stating that they'd been talking about that first NHL goal for a few years already:

McDonough was quite down-to-earth in his interview and admitted that he had much to work on in order to hit the full extent of his potential. However, to see him get a goal this early in his career surely is promising. Hopefully, he keeps this going and remains in the lineup for the remainder of the calendar.
