Daily Nuggets: Maple Leafs Fined, Jake Walman Hits the Griddy

#ExpressiveMarkStone has some of the best NHL goal celebrations in the game. What makes his celebrations so special is that you can tell he is acting off pure adrenaline and with raw emotion. Jake Walman of the Detroit Red Wings decided to be a little bit more flashy after scoring the overtime winner against the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night. He hit the 'Griddy,' which is apparently a dance the youngins do these days (I'm 22 and clueless to this).

Here's what's up in the National Hockey League as the Golden Knights return home for a New Year's Eve matinee matchup Saturday.
