Tampa Bay defender Erik Cernak (81).

The Slovak goalkeeper aimed 28 shots, recorded a 92.86-percent success rate.

All goals were scored in the opening third period, the decisive shot was in the 7th minute by the visitors James Van Riemsdyk. The Canadian team lost the second match in a row and is in 9th place in the Western Conference table.

Alex Killorn helped Tampa overcome the troubled Arizona with a 2 + 1 balance, the two-time defending champion won on the home ice 5: 1.

Slovak defender Lightning Erik Černák played for more than 19 minutes, served a two-minute penalty and sent one shot at the visitors’ goalkeeper.

The Coyotes are worried at the beginning of the season, they scored a single point in seven games, Tampa has 9 on their account.

Even before the meeting of the Slovak defender, Lightning coach Jon Cooper praised.

“You won’t even notice him in the back, but he and Ryan McDonagh are taking away a lot of tough robots. It doesn’t surprise me that if we don’t have it on the ice, the level of our game goes a little lower, “Cooper said.

Winnipeg succeeded for the fourth time in a row, winning 3: 2 on the Los Angeles ice also thanks to two accurate hits by Pierre-Luc Dubois. The Kings stretched a series of losses to six.
