Best Answer

Actually, the first goal was indeed scored by Defenseman Dave Ritchie; however, he played for the Montreal Wanderers and they defeated the Toronto Arenas 10-9. A post on Wikipedia 'History of the National Hockey League (1917-1942)' indicates this player is Dave Ritchie on December 19, 1917.

The impact of Swedish hockey players in the NHL has been tremendous over the years. Stars such as Peter Forsberg and Nicklas Lidstrom call Sweden their home country. The first player to make the trek from Sweden to the NHL was Ulf Sterner who played for the New York Rangers.
