Jason Spezza's first goal on his former team was doubly special.
The Dallas Stars forward scored with the man advantage in the second period Sunday, notching his first career goal against the Ottawa Senators.
Spezza's marker also gave him at least one goal against all 30 NHL teams.
The 32-year-old center now has 24 goals and 24 assists in his second season with Dallas.
He was traded by the Senators to the Stars on July 1, 2014, and signed a four-year extension four months later.
Spezza, who spent 11 seasons with Ottawa, still ranks second on the Senators' all-time goals, assists, and points lists.
He has 292 goals and 797 points in 829 career games.

Eric Staal's officially in on the fun.
The New York Rangers' deadline add capped an exhilarating seven-goal opening frame with his first as a member of the Blueshirts on Sunday afternoon versus the New York Islanders.
The goal, scored on a rebound off his own deflected shot, is his 11th of the season.

Punching up in the heavyweight division in his entire career, Jordin Tootoo has relied on speed to carve out an enforcer role in the NHL.
But on Sunday, after having exchanged words with Tom Sestito, he was just a touch overzealous.
Tootoo's seven unanswered punches before Sestito let go of his stick gave the Penguins a power play, which they capitalized on with a goal.

Patrick Kane came ready to play Sunday.
The Chicago Blackhawks star wasted no time opening the scoring against the Detroit Red Wings, beating goaltender Petr Mrazek to finish off an end-to-end rush 21 seconds into the game.
Kane's 38th goal was also his 89th point of the season, giving him a new career high in the latter category.
It was the fastest goal he's scored to open a game in his career, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
Duncan Keith scored less than six minutes later to chase Mrazek from the game.

Much-maligned defenseman Justin Schultz will make his Pittsburgh Penguins debut Sunday against the New Jersey Devils.
He'll take Derrick Pouliot's spot in the lineup.
The heavily recruited attack-minded defender, whom the club is treating as a project, of sorts, after four disappointing seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, was acquired prior to last week's trade deadline for a third-round draft pick.
Pittsburgh sits five points up on the Devils, and three clear of the Philadelphia Flyers for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
