(ats) Designated third star in this game behind his goalkeeper James Raimer (29 saves) and that of the Blackhawks Marc-André Fleury (20 saves), Timo Meier opened the scoring in the 34th by deflecting a shot from Rudolfs Balcers. He sealed the score 1’31 ” from the end in the empty cage.
This double, his first this season, allowed him to join Roman Josi at the top of the ranking of the best Swiss scorers. The Bernese defender from Nashville, on the other hand, has already played 21 matches, with Timo Meier missing five meetings in early November after being subject to the Covid protocol.
Nino Niederreiter and Kevin Fiala also stood out on Sunday. The Grison scored his fourth goal of the season in a game lost 4-2 by Carolina to Washington, as the St. Welshman managed an assist in a game that Minnesota won 4-2 against Tampa Bay.
