Auston Matthews of the Maple Leafs isn’t the only goal-scorer lighting it up in the NHL. Take a look at Kyle Palmieri of the Devils.
Palmieri scored two goals for the third straight game and the Devils rallied from their first deficits of the season to beat the Sharks 3-2 at Prudential Center on Sunday.
Palmieri has six goals in three games, just four behind Matthews, who has 10 in six contests.
“Whatever he’s doing, he’s got to keep doing it. Two goals a game every night,” Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid joked after make 37 saves to help New Jersey open the season with three straight wins for the second year in a row.
