Doan sets Coyotes franchise record with 380th career goal, besting Hawerchuk’s old mark
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Arizona Coyotes captain Shane Doan has broken the franchise record with his 380th career goal.
Doan took Max Domi’s feed on a 2-on-1 and beat Winnipeg rookie goaltender Connor Helleybuyck midway through the first period Thursday night.
Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk scored 379 goals for the then-Winnipeg Jets in 713 games from 1982-90. It took 1,422 games for Doan to surpass that mark.
Doan scored seven goals as a rookie in Winnipeg in the 1995-96 season before the Jets moved to the desert and became the Coyotes. The 39-year-old Doan has spent the past 19 seasons in Arizona.
He scored the record goal against the reborn Jets, who returned when the Atlanta Thrashers moved there in 2011.
