VIDEO: Blackhawks' Anisimov scores 1st regular-season goal at Barclays Center

Brad Penner / USA TODAY Sports

Artem Anisimov achieved two feats on one goal Friday in Brooklyn.

Not only did the Chicago Blackhawks forward score his first goal for his new club, he also became the first player in NHL history to hit the score sheet during a regular season game at Barclays Center, the new home of the New York Islanders.

And it was a lovely goal to boot, as Anisimov went backhand shelf on Thomas Greiss on a shorthanded breakaway.

Anisimov was acquired by Chicago from the Columbus Blue Jackets during the offseason in a deal involving Brandon Saad.

The shorthanded goal was the fourth of his career.
