Impact Kolesar was on a new-look second line with Tomas Hertl and Nicolas Roy for this contest.

Kolesar snapped a five-game point drought with the tally and now has five goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 55 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season. He's likely not suited to a top-six role in the long run, but he'll always add physicality regardless of his spot in the lineup.

His offense could easily falter as long as he remains in a fourth-line role, but he's currently on pace to shatter his career-best campaign of 24 points in 77 games in 2021-22.
