NEW YORK – Slovak goalkeeper Adam Huska of the New York Rangers collected seven goals in his overseas NHL debut and his New York Rangers lost in Madison Square Garden with Colorado 3: 7. Twenty-four-year-old Húska eliminated 32 shots, the Avalanche decided to triumph in the second period, in which they scored five goals.

In a guest jersey, Logan O’Connor scored two goals in 22 seconds in the 38th minute and the Rangers lost for the first time in the previous seven winning games. Finnish forward Mikko Rantanen also scored two goals for Colorado. Nathan MacKinnon also made the mark, ending a nine-game waiting for a goal and scoring for the first time since October 23 in the NHL. The Rangers lost a series of eight wins at home MSG.

The “riders” coach Gerrard Gallant did not blame the young Slovak goalkeeper. “We offered them a lot of opportunities, we opened the door for them. We didn’t play the defense as we should and we’ve already talked about it. We lost a lot of pucks and they took advantage of it, “ Rangers coach told nhl.com. The Rangers called the gang from the farm last weekend after Igor Sestorkin was injured.

We left him in a mess several times

The first two matches were covered by Alexander Georgiev’s back, now he got the prime minister’s chance. However, it was not easy, because the Rangers played in Chicago on Tuesday and the players did not arrive home until three in the morning. On the second day of his NHL debut, Huska faced the most offensive team in profile.

“He was great in the first period. He faced 19 shots in it and had several key interventions. We lost as a team today,” Gallant added for the New York Post. Colorado have scored 99 goals in 23 games, an average of 4.3 per game. Avalanche scored seven goals in one match for the second time in a row and fifth in the season.

“It was hard to play day after day and also travel,” said NYR defender Jacob Trouba and then commented on the address of the Slovak goalkeeper. “He had some good interventions. We left him in the mess several times, we didn’t help him and we gave them a chance. In any case, he’s a good goalkeeper and he has a bright future ahead of him. He did well.”

The Rangers turned in the first period from 0: 1 to 2: 1, the second goal of the “riders” was scored by the Swedish defender Nils Lundkvist and he recorded his first accurate hit in the profile.

Devils and Tatar finally won

In a duel between two troubled teams, New Jersey won the home ice over Philadelphia 3-0 and stopped a series of four losses. Home goalkeeper Mackenzie Blackwood eliminated 25 guest shots and recorded the second shutout of the season. The Flyers lost ten times in a row. The Slovak striker Tomáš Tatar played in the Devils jersey for more than 14 minutes, did not score, scored two shots, one hit and one blocked shot. “Letcom” has not been helped by the coach exchange yet, under the leadership of Mike Yeo he lost the second duel.

“We are in a difficult situation. We all have losses in our heads, we are constantly working on it and it affects our preparation for the matches. We have to look ahead.” said Yeo. The opening goal of the match, which was eventually victorious, was scored in the second period by the most productive “devils” player, the Swede Jesper Bratt, who also added an assist.

Rookie Dawson Mercer ended the eight-match wait for an accurate hit and closed the score to the abandoned goal Michael McLeod. The Flyers experienced the longest series without a win at the turn of February and March 1999, when they did not win twelve duels (8 losses, 4 draws).

Ax assisted

Despite the assistance of the Slovak defender Andrej Sekera, Dallas lost on the ice of Vegas 4: 5. Sekera assisted Joe Pavelski in the second goal in the match, when he deftly maneuvered with the puck in the defensive third, Roope Hintz pushed out, who prepared the shooter in a good position and he increased the score to 4: 2 for the guests with his second goal in the match. This was the third assist of the season for Sekera. But the stars then collected up to three goals, were left without points and lost the seven-match winning streak.

Vegas turnover started 63 seconds after Dallas’s fourth goal Michael Amadio, in the 55th minute, captain Mark Stone equalized with his second goal in the 4: 4 match, and Max Pacioretty decided a minute and seven seconds later. Jonathan Marchessault, who was the first player in history to play 300 Golden Knights matches, also entered the shooting list. Dallas striker Jason Robertson had a 1 + 1 balance and stretched his points series to seven matches. He became the second Stars player under the age of 22 to record more than one such series. Tyler Seguin has done it three times.

Vancouver, led by new coach Bruce Boudreau, won the second game in a row when he defeated Boston 2: 1 on the home ice after the raids. Brock Boeser scored for the Canucks in good time, JT Miller and Bo Horvat won the shot. Tkacher Demko (35 interventions) caught the victory on the day of his 26th birthday, Jaroslav Halák watched the duel against the former team only from the substitute.
