Sonny Milano Has Arrived

The biggest surprise of the young 2017-18 season is the play of young 21-year-old Sonny Milano.

Sonny is the talk of the town, and it’s well-deserved. His four goals not only leads the team, but he currently has scored more than the rest of the team combined.

One minute and seven seconds into the season, Sonny simultaneously scored the first goal of the season for the team and scored the first goal of his NHL career. Only playing in seven NHL games prior to the opener, Milano had only recorded one assist.

Since that first goal, Sonny scored the only CBJ goal of the game against the Chicago Blackhawks and scored both of the CBJ’s goals against Carolina, including the overtime game-winning breakaway one. That one was real nice.
