In his sixth NHL game, Boston Bruins rookie Jakub Lauko scored his first career goal last night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
However, Lauko shared post-game that the puck from his first NHL goal isn't going to his parents. The 22-year-old said he was going to give the puck to the parents of his Czech friend Ondrej Buchtela, who passed away from cancer a couple of years ago:
''I made a promise to my dying friend two years ago that I would make it to the NHL. It's going to his mother.''
How special is that!? Watch Lauko's post-game media coverage below:
