Tierney opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal and added an assist on Joel Ward's empty-netter in Tuesday's win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
An awful pass attempt by Dustin Byfuglien on the power play went right into Tierney's skates, then the 21-year-old took the puck straight to a prime scoring area and snapped it up high past a stunned Connor Hellebuyck. With the empty-net helper tacked on, Tierney now has five points over the last three games since returning from his latest AHL stint. He's also averaging well over 15 minutes of ice time in that span, which is an interesting development. Remember, Tierney's been a 40-goal scorer in juniors and a point-per-game man in the minors.
