In his 2nd ever game, 2nd year center Jordan Nolan(44) popped in his first career NHL goal, the game-winner, in Los Angeles Kings‘ Sunday afternoon win. Welcome to the big league!
He was originally a 7th round pick in the 2009 draft (#186 overall) and this season in 40 AHL games with Manchester Monarchs has already reached career highs for goals, assists, points and penalty minutes in half the amount of time in his 2nd season with the team.
The 22-year old is a big kid at 6’3″ 227 lbs. but is still growing his game into that sized frame.
He comes from some pretty good hockey pedigree: his dad is Ted Nolan.
