First-Ever Louisiana Native In NHL Scores First Career Goal

A 22-year-old Baton Rouge native is the first-ever National Hockey League player from the state of Louisiana.

Mason Lohrei's father, David Lohrei, was the head coach of the Baton Rouge Kingfish in the East Coast Hockey League from 2000 to 2002.

The rookie scored his first career NHL goal on Monday for the Boston Bruins against the Dallas Stars.

Boston topped the Stars 3-2.
