New Jersey, which also fielded Nico Hischier and Jonas Siegenthaler, picked up its second success in a row, the sixth in its last eight outings, by beating Seattle 3-2 in Newark. Meier made it 3-2 53 seconds into the third period after inheriting the puck in the slot.
The Appenzell winger took advantage of a very involuntary assist from Kraken defender Vince Dunn, whose attempted clearance bounced off the left post of Philipp Grubauer’s goal. This is his 9th goal in this 2024/25 financial year, and above all his 200th in the regular season.
Pius Suter scored twice for Vancouver, who won 5-2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets after being down 2-0 after the first period. The Zurich center made it 3-2 by taking a point-blank pass from Conor Garland after 2’17 of play in the final period.
Third most used forward in the Canucks camp with 17’14 spent on the ice, Suter sealed the score in an empty cage 65” from the end. He has now scored 11 goals this season, in 24 matches played, while his record is 15 goals over an entire regular season (in 2021/22, with Detroit).
