Congratulations, Lappy!! Ian scored his 20th goal of the season for the first time in his career and earned the Number 1 Star of the Game!!
With this goal, he also became the first Avs player to reach 20 goals and 100 penalty minutes in the same season since Claude Lemieux and Peter Forsberg in 1998-99.
"I thought we had a pretty good shift right before the goal. Brett McLean and (Antti) Laaksonen were cycling the puck for a while," Laperriere said. "I knew something was going to come out of it. You get that feeling sometimes. I positioned myself in front of the net and it wasn't too hard of a shot. I just tipped it." --Denver Post
