Tatar was close to a nice goal. He also takes ugly. Jaroš made progress + video – SlovakNHL.sk

Tomas Tatar finally scored his first goal in New Jersey Devils. He ended the wait for the first goal of the season in the 12th match and was also lucky when Dougi Hamilton’s shot bounced twice and once from him. Nevertheless, he was pleased with the goal, as evidenced by his joy on the ice.

“I felt pressure,” Tatar admitted. “I didn’t create it for myself, but when you have a chance in every match … I felt like I was doing a lot of good things and in the end it had to fit me there. It’s hard for your mind when you can’t score a goal. It was a pretty ugly goal, but I’m definitely taking it. “

His teammates also shared great joy with Tatar. They were happy on the ice, even on the bench. They showed that they wanted to see this moment in the Slovak striker.

“I think I’m a little sorry about me.” Tatar said with a laugh. “But no. It shows how locked our team is. From the first day I showed up, the boys were great at me. I believe we are building something extraordinary here. A good locker room is the key to success, and I think we have a great group of boys here. ”
