Boqvist had scored only seven points for New Jersey before tonight's game. Now the Swede has reached double figures, with two assists as well as the goal that made it 3-3.

He carried the puck out of his own zone and, after combining with Lenni Hämeenaho (who also scored 1+2), the 28-year-old put in the rebound to equalise.

The team's other Swedish player, Jesper Bratt, was credited with an assist and now has 21 points this season.

New Jersey has lost only six games so far and has 30 points in 21 games.
