Evgeny Svechnikov had a night he'll never forget.
The Detroit Red Wings rookie scored the eventual winner in a shootout victory over the Ottawa Senators on Monday night, slipping a backhander past Craig Anderson in his first NHL game.
Senators center Colin White, who was drafted two spots after Svechnikov in 2015, came up short on his attempt to extend the shootout, sealing the victory for Detroit.
Svechnikov was recalled Monday morning to make his debut, which was also White's first career contest.
The Red Wings left winger made quite a first impression on the ice, and he did the same with the media postgame.
