Dan Girardi doesn't score often, but he made it count in a big way in Sunday's game against Arizona.

The New York Rangers defenseman, who recorded two goals in 74 games last season, fired the game winner past Coyotes netminder Louis Domingue in only his third game of the season.

He was awarded the team's player of the game honor for his efforts.

With 43 goals in 728 career appearances, Girardi is averaging 0.06 goals per game, or 4.8 for every 82 games played.

Soak it in; it will likely be a while until the next one.
