Niederreiter opened the scoring at 2:38 of the first period, the goal will eventually be the game-winning goal. Niederreiter has 3 game-winning goals tied for 2nd in the league after this game.
"I think we all knew we had some talent in the locker room," said Niederreiter. "Four lines that can play and a veteran D-corp, and obviously one of the best goalies in the league. Sometimes teams don't click right away, but it seems that we're really going right now and I think we're excited about going forward."
