If Tuesday is indeed Andrew Ladd's final home game with the Winnipeg Jets, he made it a memorable finale.
The 30-year-old finished off a feed from a man with a five-year contract extension in Dustin Byfuglien to net his second shorthanded goal of the season against the Dallas Stars.
With Winnipeg fans anticipating that this could be the last time they see Ladd wear the "C" (the team has no more home games ahead of the Feb. 29 trade deadline), they gave him a well-deserved standing ovation.
Of course Ladd had to score. Shorthanded. Crowd loves it. So do his teammates. Standing O for the captain. pic.twitter.com/mJIEZMXUYV

Since the franchise moved from Atlanta to Winnipeg in 2011, Ladd has scored more goals (110) than any other Jets player.
