Butch Goring made a successful re-entry to professional hockey, scoring the winning goal as Nova Scotia Oilers beat Moncton Golden Flames 4-2 in an American Hockey League game in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Goring flicked a quick snap shot at 14:05 of the second period from 10 feet on a setup from Jeff Brubaker from behind the Moncton net. The goal gave the Oilers a 3-1 lead.

Goring, 37, is starting a tryout with Nova Scotia in an attempt to crack the parent Edmonton lineup as he comes back after an 18-month layoff from active play. He was coach of Boston Bruins last season and for the first three weeks of this season before being fired.
