Kelowna Rockets alumni, Nick Merkley, obtained his first point in the NHL on Friday night.
Now playing for the New Jersey Devils after being traded by the Arizona Coyotes in December, Merkley assisted fellow forward Joey Anderson in the Devils’ second goal against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Merk put in the work, Joey buries!
