Detroit Red Wings Rookie Nate Danielson Scores First NHL Goal
In a remarkable centennial season for the Detroit Red Wings, rookie Nate Danielson has achieved a significant personal milestone by scoring his first NHL goal. Selected as the ninth overall pick during the opening round of the 2023 draft, Danielson netted this pivotal goal on a Tuesday night matchup against the Seattle Kraken.
Key Moment of the Game
The moment came when Danielson skillfully redirected a shot from his fellow rookie, Axel Sandin-Pellikka, past Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord, marking a key achievement in what promises to be an exciting career. Emmitt Finnie, another rookie teammate, was on hand to gather the puck immediately after the score, ensuring it would serve as a memorable keepsake.

Shortly after this first achievement, Danielson almost added a highlight-reel goal to his tally. However, the play was overturned due to a minor infraction, as it was determined Finnie had prematurely entered the offensive zone.
Despite this setback, Danielson continued to contribute to the game, providing an assist on Finnie’s goal, which was his first since October 25. With this latest achievement, the Red Wings have now seen eight of their rookies score goals this season, placing them in a three-way tie with the St. Louis Blues and New York Islanders for the second most rookie goals in the NHL.
