Timo Meier particularly stood out with the San Jose Sharks on Thursday evening. He was the great architect of his team’s recovery which, led 0-2 after five minutes by Gaëtan Haas’ Edmonton Oilers, ended up winning 6-3.
The Appenzell striker reduced the score in the 11th minute (1-2), then scored the fifth goal in the third third (5-2), before offering the Sharks’ sixth and last goal to Kevin Labanc. Three points in the same match: strong!
