Nesterenko recorded four goals and three assists for seven points (4-3=7) in three games last week, all wins by the Gulls.
At home against Abbotsford on Tuesday evening, Nesterenko scored the decisive shootout goal to lift San Diego to a 2-1 victory over the Canucks. On Friday, he tallied a goal and two assists to help the Gulls to a 6-3 win at Iowa. And on Saturday, Nesterenko recorded the first multiple-goal game of his pro career, potting a hat trick and adding an assist as San Diego knocked off the Wild, 7-4, to match their longest winning streak of the season.
