Ducks' goalie prospect scores a goal.
Timo Pielmeier has been having a good season so far for the Bakersfield Condors, the Ducks' ECHL affiliate. Saturday night, he added the goaltender's ultimate exclamation point by scoring a goal in the Condors' 6-4 win over the Utah Grizzlies.
With Utah goalie Parker Van Buskirk off for an extra attacker, Pielmeier fired the puck the length of the ice to score with 5 seconds left. Pielmeier made 26 saves for the victory.
The 20-year-old from Germany was drafted 83rd overall by San Jose in 2007, then traded to Anaheim last March in the deal that sent Travis Moen and Kent Huskins to the Sharks. In 20 games for Bakersfield, he's 12-5-2 with a 2.79 goals-against average.
