Ward then blocked Joonas Donskois tip-in try, and that eventually led to a rush the other way, with Nordstrom backhanding the rebound of his own shot past Dells glove for the fourth-line forwards first goal of the season. He had 10 last year.I couldnt believe my eyes when I missed the first one, so I was kind of happy to get the second chance, Nordstrom said.Before that score, the goalies had put on a show for the overwhelming majority of this one, with Dell and Ward matching each other save for save. Dell made a slick stop on a rising shot by Jeff Skinner early in the third, and a few minutes later Ward stopped a tricky tip from Logan Couture with about 13 1/2 minutes left.Game notesSan Jose scratched C Melker Karlsson, who injured his left ankle while blocking a shot Saturday against Tampa Bay. ...
