Nicklas Backstrom

Here I Go Again by Whitesnake: Nicklas Backstrom went with this 80s rock song on his phone because it sounds great in an arena and he personally liked it. Backstrom has 12 goals this season. Perfect. 5/5

Lars Eller

Eye of the Tiger by Survivor: During the 2017-18 season when we all found out Lars Eller had clutch genes we also learned his nickname was The Tiger which is naturally his spirit animal. He has 16 goals so far this season. 5/5

Garnet Hathaway

What is Love? by Haddaway: The fourth liner picked this song as a pun with his last name. This song is a great jam to dance to and it comes on naturally every time Garnet Hathaway scores. He has nine goals this season. 5/5

Nic Dowd

You can call me Al by Paul Simon: Apparently you can just call Nic Dowd Al with this goal song. He has seven goals so far this season. Dowd went with this song after he was introduced to it at his wedding reception. 4/5

Brendan Leipsic

Levels by Avicii: Brendan Leipsic loves his music and he went with this popular classic EDM song from Avicii. He has three goals this season. 4/5

Radko Gudas

It’s a Long Way to the Top by AC/DC: Radko Gudas loves rock n roll and is a big AC/DC fan. Besides Nick Jensen, Gudas is the other player who uses a rock legend as his goal song. He has two goals this season. 4/5
