Vladislav Namestnikov pots first pro goal
Vladislav Namestnikov - C - Tampa Bay Lightning
Jan. 1, 2013 - 11:35 AM ET

Vladislav Namestnikov scored his first professional goal on Saturday.

Namestnikov was selected 27th overall by the Lightning in the 2011 Draft. It was his second game back after he suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to miss 24 games. He had 22 goals and 71 points with the London Knights after a 30 goal, 68 point season in his draft year. Namestnikov is a playmaker and if he develops, he could be a top-six forward.
