Gabriel Landeskog issues heartwarming statement after scoring his first goal
"I've envisioned scoring again for a long time, and then there were obviously days where I didn't know if I was ever going to get to score again. So obviously it feels good. It's a tight playoff series and a big game here at home. To get to do it in front of our fans obviously means a lot. So super exciting. Hopefully more to come."
