Plus-1 | Curtis Lazar the Star?
Curtis Lazar - perhaps a new fan-favorite - displayed a lot of patience as he created some scoring chances with one less skater on the ice early in the game and then throughout its remaining periods. By the end of the second period, the winger had five attempted shots and three hits.
