Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky scored twice, Cole Caufield extended his point streak to 10 games, Michael Pezzetta had his first career game-winning goal, and Samuel Montembeault was on fire.
The recipe was perfect for a nice 5-2 victory. A few hours after the Sean Monahan trade, it was quite unexpected, but the players did exactly what Kent Hughes asked of them, which is to play as a team.
Upon their return to the locker room, the players were happy, especially Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield. Their smiles were simply contagious!
