Nate Schmidt might have just made Brad Lambert's nickname public:
Big Bad Brad.
The two of them were a big part of the Winnipeg Jets' 4-3 preseason win over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night, as Lambert - playing in his first career preseason game - scored the equalizer with 3:30 to go in regulation.
For Lambert, being able to play after missing the first week of training camp, and scoring in the building he was drafted in, was incredible.
"It's just an exhibition game but it's still the NHL," said Lambert. "It's something you dream about, and the atmosphere out there was unbelievable."

"I liked our effort tonight and I'm really happy with how we came back."
