“I don’t think it has really sunk in yet, to be honest.” Brad Malone, a 32-year-old minor league vet, got his own moment in the NHL spotlight with a pair of points in a game featuring a number of future Hall of Famers. (SportsnetSpec)
“I don’t think it has really sunk in yet, to be honest,” Malone, 32, said after the 4-3 OT win. “It feels pretty awesome.”
“It is tough to have an individual game like that and feel good about yourself when you don’t get the two points,” he said. “I know that is kind of the cliché thing, but in all honesty you don’t want to be that teammate in the room.” The Oilers were going to call Malone up earlier this season when injuries struck, but he caught COVID-19 and missed his chance. They had to sign him to an NHL deal to get him to Edmonton, a contract that was announced the day the Oilers made his Bakersfield coach, Jay Woodcroft, their newest NHL head man.
Malone took a pass from behind the net courtesy of Zack Kassian and quickly deposited it behind Ilya Samsonov. It was the kind of goal that, if a true goal scorer like Ovechkin scored it, we’d gush over it. “I think most of his goals would be of the blue collar variety,” said Woodcroft. “But I’ve seen him score some nice ones over the years. So I’m happy to see him get it for us.
