Balcers scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Coyotes.
The Sharks surged ahead late in the third period, and Balcers added some insurance with 50 seconds left in the game. The 24-year-old has scored in each of the last two contests, and he's up to eight tallies this season. He's added 10 assists, 69 shots on net, 80 hits and a minus-1 rating through 41 outings -- his 18 points are a new career high in his fourth NHL campaign.
