NHL Thursday: Capitals end losing skid, Kings host Bruins

Well, in the first period on Thursday night following a pile up in front of the net, Scott put the puck in the net a different way - by throwing it in after the whistle.

Nice try, good sir, but that’s not going to work. And for his post-whistle efforts he earned himself a two-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct because, well, you just can’t do that.

“I’m just excited to get back on the ice again and see where God takes me on this journey,” Rafalski said in a statement released by the team.

Rafalski recently played in the Winter Classic alumni game and that seemed to get the ball rolling on his comeback attempt.
