Timo Meier has seven goals and five assists in seven games going into the San Jose Sharks’ game Sunday against the Minnesota Wild.
Any concerns that San Jose Sharks forward Timo Meier might not be able to duplicate the career year he had last season following an unexpectedly tepid start last month are slowly being erased.
Now, in the final season of a four-year, $24 million deal, Meier is on pace to match or surpass his 35-goal season from a year ago. Before Saturday’s games, Meier was fourth in the NHL with 19 takeaways in 16 games, and his average of 3.64 takeaways per 60 minutes ranks as a career-high. He had 49 takeaways in 77 games last season.
The Sharks had scouted what the Stars did in faceoff coverage on the penalty kill. “We were able to beat them, find open ice in the middle,” Sharks captain Logan Couture said of the first power play try that resulted in Barabanov’s goal. “And then we found open face in the middle throughout the second one and had some good looks.”
