Appleton netted a goal and added an assist in Sunday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Appleton scored his second goal of the season after notching the primary helper on Adam Lowry's eventual game-winner in the third period. Appleton added three shots, three blocks and a plus-3 rating in 16:06 of ice time. The 28-year-old is up to five points in as many games while filling a middle-six role.
