Matthew Nieto scored his first NHL goal and two assists in San Jose's 9-2 victory on Tuesday. Nieto had a three-point night in just his third NHL game, which on any other night would have gotten a ton of coverage. Of course, last night is was overshadowed by his teammate and fellow rookie Tomas Hertl scoring four goals. Still, Nieto's goal was the game winner and he's certainly worth keeping an eye on going forward. He had 18 goals and 37 points in 39 games with Boston University last season.
