Gaborik had Fortuna on his side throughout the game as his first two goals of the season were as untraditional as they get. The first came on a solo breakaway at 11:08 in the first, when Braden Holtby saved Gaborik's attempt, but the puck flipped up in the air and a backchecking defender popped it into his own net. The second was an empty-netter from inside his own blueline, after he unwittingly broke up a pass with his stick as the play unfolded behind his back, but to his credit he was first to realize the situation and used it to his advantage.
