Brayden Point, Brandon Hagel, and Conor Geekie were the game’s three stars.
Eight goals without Nikita Kucherov even in the lineup? Might be time to relegate the San Jose Sharks.
Geekie had 1 goal and 1 assist and was +2 with 2 shots and 3 hits in 16:14. He was also 23% on 13 draws. His line helped get the ball rolling right before it went over and crushed San Jose.
Emil Lilleberg had a helper and 2 penalty minutes with 1 shot and 1 hit in 20:58.
Gage Goncalves was +1 with 1 shot and 2 blocked shots in 16:06.
