Lian Bichsel quickly made his mark in the NHL. The Solothurn defender scored his second goal in three matches played for Dallas, who won 3-1 against Washington.
Credited with the third star at the end of this meeting, Bichsel made it 2-1 in the 38th minute with a wrist shot from the blue line. Already a scorer four days earlier for his baptism of fire in the NHL in a match lost 4-1 against Roman Josi’s Predators, the 20-year-old “rookie” was entitled to more than 16 minutes of play against Washington.
