Former Union standout Jeremy Welsh notched his first NHL point during Carolina's 4-2 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
Welsh, who received his third recall of the season earlier in the day, was credited with an assist on Drayson Bowman's goal at 10:29 of the second period. The assist was the first NHL point tallied by a former Division I era Union player.
The contest was Welsh's fifth NHL game of the year and sixth overall. He appeared in one game last April after giving up his senior year of eligibility to sign with Carolina.
The Bayfield, Ontario native has spent most of the season playing for Charlotte, Carolina's top minor league affiliate. Welsh tallied 11 goals and 10 assists in 51 contests.
He concluded his three-year Union career with 100 points, including a team-leading 27 goals last season.
