Gordon, who ranks second in the AHL in goals with 16, played in his first NHL game this season and fourth in his career on Sunday against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, the same building where he made his NHL debut (Dec. 23, 2008) and saw his first NHL game.
A seventh-round choice, 197th overall, in the 2004 Entry Draft, Gordon has collected 31 points (16 goals, 15 assists) and 12 penalty minutes in 26 games with Hershey this season.
