Dustin Byfuglien Scores His First Goal In The Playoffs
7 years agoWinnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien scored his first goal of the 2018 playoffs in Game 3 against the Nashville Predators. Byfuglien opened the scoring for the Jets on a 4-on-4 play by slipping one through the five-hole of Pekka Rinne after receiving a slick pass from Mark Scheifele. Byfuglien has been arguably the best checker in the postseason, laying out thunderous but clean hits that have changed the momentum of a game while being careful not to take bad penalties. But the most impressive part of his game is how he has been activating the offense from the blue line, as he can often be seen deep in the zone and sometimes even in front of the net. The 260-pound defenseman is a key factor in the offensive production of this Jets team, so expect him to continue making a splash in this series.
