Parenteau scored in his third game as a Ranger with his parents there. A gorgeous goal.

Great redemption for missing that open net in the third. What hands!

Parenteau has been showing how much potential he has with Hartford, and he showed here that he can bring it to the Rangers as well! An amazing shootout goal for the win!
-- Jason from springfield, Ore.
The kid played his heart out in front of his parents. He deserved to be rewarded with a visible role in the victory

This was the hardest Moment of the Week choice so far this season, but I gotta give it to Parenteau for his game-winning shootout goal.

Personally, I thought he played well the entire game and I was suprised he did not score in regulation time. It's even better that he scored the game winner.

Definitely did not see this coming as a pick for a shootout, but Parenteau proved he should be there!

The Moment: Rookie P.A. Parenteau's Very First NHL Shootout Attempt Wins Game at Ottawa Description: Parenteau, who was recalled from Hartford just one day before the game at Ottawa, skated in from the left side, and snapped a hard forehand shot over the gloved hand of Sens goalie Brian Elliott for what proved to be the game-winning score in the shootout's seventh round. “It’s a great feeling,” said Parenteau. “Coach gave me a chance to go out there and I scored a big goal there. So I am pretty happy, I’m not going to lie.” • COMPLETE GAME RECAP |
