Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his 50th career goal in spectacular fashion, tying the game 1-1 in the second period at United Center. Watch him out-muscle Connor Murphy and beat a sprawling Robin Lehner, who went for the poke-check but stood little chance.

Dubois received help on the play from Gus Nyquist who sprung the puck with a great stretch pass, and Cam Atkinson tipped the puck into the zone to get things going.
This goal, Dubois' third of the season (leading the Blue Jackets), made a little team history as well. He scored his 50th goal in the second-fewest number of games among all players to ever suit up for Columbus, second only to some guy named Rick Nash.
Pretty impressive stuff from a pretty impressive young player.
