AP Photos Philipp Kurashev’s celebration after his first NHL goal Tuesday was as casual as they come. An almost-inadvertent stick raise. The slightest of fist pumps. A gentle bump into the glass. A brief huddle with linemates Dominik Kubalik and Pius Suter. Any fan in the BB&T Center who didn’t know otherwise would’ve assumed it was just another goal in a long career. But the milquetoast reaction was fitting for Kurashev, 21, whose road to the NHL wasn’t as glamorous as Kirby Dach’s or as well-documented as Ian Mitchell’s, but it made a talented, impactful player out of him nonetheless.
