Schmaltz opened the scoring at 1:13 of the second period, tipping a point shot from Michael Kesselring to give Utah a 1-0 lead.
“We had a lot of looks, but we have to be able to find more than one goal,” said Schmaltz. “The last couple games, we haven’t generated a ton [of chances]. I think we’ve had our looks, but we just haven’t capitalized on it.”
Brock Nelson tied it 1-1 at 3:36 of the third period, finishing off an impressive passing sequence between Barzal and Lee by firing a one-timer into a wide-open net.
“I thought we played the right way in the [third period],” said Lee. “We were hungry, we won battles, and we wanted that one. We needed it.”
“For us to come back in the third period, I think it’s good for our confidence and it’s good for us,” said Roy. “I think winning tonight will bring even more confidence. We’re going home for seven games, and it was good timing to have a good streak like this.”
NOTES: Barzal extended his assist and point streaks to five games each (one goal, five assists). … Lee extended his point streak to three games (three goals, two assists).
