Mathieu Dandenault of the Montreal Canadiens remembers his NHL line during his rookie season, one that happened to include Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman.
And Dandenault recalled he had a fast start in the NHL.
“I played with Stevie Yzerman my rookie season and I scored five goals in my first 12 games,” Dandenault said. “I was a scratch a lot of the time that year, but when I started the season I was with him. It was amazing. But I ended up the season with five goals because I went to the fourth line. I started the season with Yzerman and finished with Stu Grimson.”
