Before the Sharks went on their recent three-game road trip, I asked Timo Meier why he and his current linemates, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl, were playing so well together.
“I think we put all of our strengths on the ice together,” the Swiss winger said. “Those are two guys who can make a really nice play.”
In a 4-3 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday, those words evolved into on-ice production more than in any other game.
And that wasn’t just because Meier scored the game-winning goal in overtime.
