This ghost is for real.
Shayne Gostisbehere continued his sublime rookie season Monday night, scoring two goals for the Philadelphia Flyers against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The second put him into the Flyers' records book.
The goals were the 13th and 14th of the season for Gostisbehere, and No. 14 - a clapper on the power play - set a new Flyers record for goals in a season by a rookie defenseman. Behn Wilson scored 13 for Philly in 1978-79.
Between Gostisbehere, Artemi Panarin, and Connor McDavid, the future of the game's in good hands.
If you didn't know who Gostisbehere was before the season - or how to pronounce his name - you do now.
