J.T Miller and Quinn Hughes also found themselves on the scoresheet as well, putting up two points (1 G, 1 A) and one point (1 A) respectively, which put them both over the 20-point mark.
After the game, Sportsnet Stats on X revealed an interesting stat involving Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson, saying that they're the first trio of teammates to hit the 20-point mark in a team's first 13 games of a season since Daniel Alfredsson, Dany Heatley and Jason Spezza, who did so with the Ottawa Senators during the 2005-06 season.
