Defenseman Cody Ceci scored his first goal as a member of the San Jose Sharks last night, ending one of the longest road goalless streaks ever.
Cody Ceci nets his first goal as a Shark 🦈
— Sharks on NBCS (@NBCSSharks) December 1, 2024
Ceci had gone 127 games without scoring a goal on the road. His last road goal came while he was a member of the Edmonton Oilers. On Nov. 11, 2021, against the Boston Bruins was the last time Ceci scored a goal on the road.
This wild back-and-forth game ended with Ceci’s dagger goal at 17:41 of the third period. He also earned an assist on a Leon Draisaitl game-winning goal with a terrific move to cut to the front of the net.
According to the Sharks broadcast, the only active steak that was longer than Ceci’s 127 games is Vancouver Canucks defenseman Erik Brannstrom, who has gone 285 games (143 on the road) without a road goal. Brannstrom has played 285 games in the NHL and has nine career goals, all coming in home games.
