That's one.
Everyone was focused on this game, understandably, but it was also game 1 of probably the most important stretch of the season. They play 10 straight games against western conference opponents, 9 of those against teams below them in the standings, with the tenth being against Vancouver, who they're chasing. Banking points against the California teams while holding off the Hawks and Preds will provide a lot more breathing room to ensure a postseason berth.
I'm personally hoping for 14 points out of those games. So two down, 12 to go.
