Ozzy Wiesblatt’s First NHL Goal Honors Late Brother in Emotional Moment

Ozzy Wiesblatt scored his first official NHL goal in his 23rd game of the season. The moment carried deep emotion, as he honoured his late brother Orca after finding the net. Teammates and coaches described the celebration as one of the most powerful of the year.

Wiesblatt had come close to scoring many times before. His preseason goal in Tampa had been a personal highlight, though it didn’t count in the league’s records. When he finally netted his first official NHL goal, the relief was clear.

Wiesblatt’s first NHL goal marked a turning point in his season. The emotional weight of the moment reflected both personal loss and team support. For the Predators, it was a reminder of how sport and memory can intertwine.
