One Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman is off to a Holl of a start to his NHL career.
Justin Holl snapped one past Henrik Lundqvist to open the scoring against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, and he made some history in the process.
Holl joined only a handful of other blue-liners in league history to notch a goal in each of his first two NHL games.

He also became the first defenseman in Maple Leafs history to accomplish the feat.
The 26-year-old scored his first NHL goal Wednesday night in a victory over the New York Islanders.
