Big night for the L’Esperance family…

It comes during L’Esperance’s 11th NHL game; it’s also his first NHL point.

The strike gives L’Esperance a total of 30 on the season, his first professional campaign. The Compuware and Tri-City Storm alum had 29 with the AHL’s Texas Stars before getting summoned to the big league club.
