It was a night to remember for Chicago Blackhawks' rookie Cole Guttman.

After scoring his first NHL goal in the Blackhawks' victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday, the forward was awarded the championship belt in the locker room after the win.

Teammate Andreas Athanasiou - who earned the belt after the Blackhawks' win on Friday - presented the award to Guttman after the win.
Athanasiou gave props to the rest of his teammates - including Patrick Kane, who scored a hat trick - but ultimately gave the belt to the rookie as the locker room erupted in cheers.

Guttman had a simple message for his team after getting the belt: "Great win boys, let's keep it going."
Max Domi, who also scored in the game, had a congratulatory message for his teammate on Twitter.
