When did Eklund see Sturm?
“From the beginning, pretty much. Saw the three guys on me,” he said. “When I turned my back a little bit, I saw Nico coming there, and he made a hell of a play on the breakaway.”
The 22-year-old is on pace for the first 60-point campaign of his career, on the heels of 45 points in his first full season last year.
