Mitch Marner was unaware of his fancy footwork until his teammates let him have it afterwards.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' rookie forward skittered his way over to Morgan Rielly after the defenseman scored his first goal of the season.

Watch: Mitch Marner prances with glee after setting up Rielly goal

"Yeah, I got a pretty hard time about it," Marner said after the game, according to TSN's Mark Masters. "I didn't even realize until I got to the bench and then clued in on what I did."

Rielly scored after receiving a pass from Marner to tie the game 2-2 late in the first period.

"Excitement took (me over) again and (I) saw him celebrating, and kind of just tagged along," Marner said.

"I guess I wanted to hop to him," he added.

Marner hopped his way to a two-point night, scoring his fifth goal of the season on the power play late in the third period to put the game out of reach.

Better late than never for the Ottawa Senators and forward Mark Stone, who grabbed the go-ahead goal with just seven seconds left in Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Kings.

An innocent shot by captain Erik Karlsson was bobbled by Kings goalie Peter Budaj, only to be stuffed home by Stone.

With the win, the Senators' record improved to 9-5-0, while the Kings fell to 7-8-0. Budaj, who stopped 13 of 15 shots in the loss, filled in for the third period after Jeff Zatkoff was forced out with a lower-body injury.

As for Stone, the goal marked his second of the season. He's recorded six points in 13 games.

The captain has a flair for the dramatic.

New Jersey Devils defenseman Andy Greene ended Friday's game against the Buffalo Sabres by scoring the game-winner on a penalty shot in overtime.

Greene was awarded the breakaway opportunity less than thirty seconds into the extra frame after being hauled down by Sabres forward Evander Kane.

It was Greene's second goal and third point of the season.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers was cathartic for a quartet of players.

Morgan Rielly, Martin Marincin, Zach Hyman, and Leo Komarov all scored their first goals of the season Friday night.

Rielly's first-period marker gave him 100 career points, and he wasn't done there.

Marincin's first goal was his second point in 11 games, Hyman's was his second point in 14 contests, and Komarov's shorthanded breakaway goal in the third period was his fourth point of the 2016-17 season.

Nikita Zaitsev, Peter Holland, Matt Martin, and Matt Hunwick are the only remaining Leafs still looking for their first goals of the campaign.

This won't do much to dispel the notion that Mitch Marner is an excitable teenager.

Joshua Ho-Sang's tenure in the New York Islanders organization took another controversial turn Friday night.

The AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers made him a healthy scratch for their game against the Syracuse Crunch, and his head coach shed some light on the decision one day prior.

"Josh is working hard. He’s continuing to work on his game, work on his habits," Sound Tigers head coach Brent Thompson told Michael Fornabaio of the Connecticut Post on Thursday.

"For me, eliminating the swinging, even in practice, little habits. … Maybe he’ll have to watch a game from up top, learning.”

The "swinging" Thompson is referring to is a way of describing when a player doesn't skate in straight lines with a 'stop-and-start' style.

Ho-Sang was banished from Islanders training camp and sent back to the OHL's Niagara IceDogs last fall after sleeping in and showing up late on the first day.

"Enough with the bullshit, it's time to grow up," Islanders general manager Garth Snow said at the time.

Ho-Sang showed up on time one year later, and he was off to a decent start in the AHL with six points in 10 games before Friday's benching.

The Islanders selected him 28th overall in 2014.
