You figured that the third and sixth highest scoring teams in the league would give us some fireworks on New Year’s Eve. 8-5, though?
The Rundown
The team came out hot, taking just 70 seconds to find the back of the net. Despite the 3M line having been dismantled for the past month or so, the chemistry had not disappeared. Michael Frolik fed it to Matthew Tkachuk below the net, who snuck it between two defenders to Mikael Backlund for the goal.

The lead didn’t last that long, however.
