DENVER – Colorado hockey players won Monday night in the overseas NHL over Florida 3: 2. The Swedish striker André Burakovsky decided on the triumph of Avalanche with the first profile hatter.

The Nashville Predators succeeded on the Ice of the New York Rangers 1-0 and stretched the winning streak to five games. Philip Tomasino decided to score two points for the guests at the beginning of the second period, the Finnish goalkeeper Juuse Saros covered all 32 shots. Vancouver defeated Carolina 2: 1 in the goal without Jaroslav Halák.

Colorado claimed the fourth victory in the series in regular time and ranks 6th in the Western Conference. “Today is my lucky day. I’ve had a few double goals, so the hat has finally arrived. It’s a good feeling, of course.” looked forward to the match Burakovsky, whose performance was also highlighted by coach Jared Bednar:

“He played amazing tonight. He skated, he shot. He was constantly able to work his way into dangerous situations for his opponent and get to the puck in them,” praised the mentee. Colorado managed the duel even without captain Gabriel Landeskog, who suffered a lower body injury in Friday’s match against Detroit and will be missing for two weeks.

The Florida players put up a lot of pressure in the end, but they didn’t manage to send the duel into overtime. “The home goalkeeper performed great interventions, in the end even the defender Erik Johnson. It is unfortunate that we did not get anything from the match, we would deserve a point,” sighed the author of one of Florida’s goals, Joe Thornton. Despite the defeat, the Panthers remain at the head of the Eastern Conference. They have 40 points in the level table, as do Washington and Toronto.

The conference leaders did not score

Not even the best team in West Minnesota succeeded, moreover, in the second match in a row. Wild lost to Vegas on the opponent’s ice 4: 6. Mark Stone scored a 5 – 4 goal in the 45th minute in a power play. At the same time, the players from Nevada have not succeeded in numerous advantages so far, in the past 11 matches they used only 4 out of 31. They turned two against Minnesota.

“We talked to the players about how to regain our well-being in the power play and I think we did it. For a while it seemed to us that every moment would develop to our detriment, but today it turned around. Both teams played today. “We made a special effort, quality defenses came from everyone on the team,” praised Las Vegas coach Peter DeBoer.

Neither the Rangers nor the Hurricanes took the chance to move to the head of the East. Carolina made it possible to stretch Vancouver’s winning streak into four games. The Canucks still rank 13th in the conference, but their new coach Bruce Boudreau has already made it to the club’s history. None of his predecessors on the Vancouver bench started their operations with four victories.

“We’re still a long way from the eighth place, so we have to keep working. So I want the fifth victory in the series,” demonstrated resolutely Boudreau. The author of the winning goal, Elias Pettersson, also praises the new coach. “When we had a hard time, you heard us. It’s been great since then. We know we won’t win every duel. But we have to have the ability to reflect and everyone has to try to bring something to the team.” said the Swedish center.

The Rangers failed to beat the Predators Sarosa goalkeeper, whose performance in the match increased. In the first third it covered 6 hits, in the second 10 and in the final 16. “We closed it properly in front of our gate, there were great blocks, we also dealt with weaknesses well. We gained significant points, something like this can kick us,” the Finnish goalkeeper expressed satisfaction.
