NEW YORK – Slovak hockey player Tomas Tatar contributed to New Jersey’s victory over Florida 7: 3 on Wednesday night in the overseas NHL. He scored the fourth Canadian point (0 + 4) in the 11th match of the season. His compatriot Christián Jaroš did not play for the Devils due to injuries. The Panthers suffered their second loss in a row, but they are still at the head of the Eastern Conference and the entire competition with 21 points.

Tatar scored for the first time since October 23, when it broke the six-match “drought”. The 30-year-old winger is still waiting for the premiere hit in the Devils jersey. Tatar passed the blue line to Ty Smith in the 46th minute, who raised to 6: 3 for the “devils”. The Slovak striker was on the ice for 16 minutes and 11 seconds, had two plus points and scored one shot. With two goals, forward Andreas Johnsson contributed to the Devils’ high triumph, who is the team’s best gunner with six hits together with Pavel Zach.

“My pucks are bouncing in the right direction. I have more confidence than I did last season,” the Swedish winger told nhl.com. In the middle, the Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov equalized to 2: 2 and scored the 189th goal in the Florida jersey. He thus became independent at the head of the historical club tables when he overtook his compatriot Olli Jokinen. The former Finnish striker scored 188 goals for the “panthers” in 2000-2008.

Cernak was injured

Defender of the title from Tampa Bay in the team with the Slovak defender Erik Černák lost to Caroline 1: 2 after extra time. Černák did not finish the match, he already suffered an injury in the upper part of the body in the first period. The puck hit Andrej Svečnikov in his hand. Lightning coach Jon Cooper expects Cernak to miss several matches. “It doesn’t look good,” Cooper said for the club’s website. Cernak was only on the ice for 4:21 minutes.

The Czech striker Martin Nečas decided the victory of the Hurricanes, and Carolina recorded the tenth victory out of eleven matches. “After I entered the offensive zone, the defender left me, I think it was Victor Hedman, a little space, so I tried to shoot. It worked out.” said the author of the winning goal. The Hurricanes had been looking forward to it shortly before, but Brady Skjei’s intervention after the coach’s call for offside did not work. Tampa’s only goal was scored by captain Steven Stamkos, the two-time Stanley Cup defender scored in the sixth game in a row despite losing.

Vancouver lost to Anaheim 2: 3 after extra time, Canucks goalkeeper Jaroslav Halák neutralized 27 visitors. Halák took part in the Canadian team’s goal for the third time, but again he did not win. However, the Slovak goalkeeper did not have many chances with the collected goals. He had a completely obscured view on the first from Cam Fowler’s hockey stick and caught Isac Lundeström’s shot in front of the second, but JT Miller knocked the puck into his own goal.

Terry continues the cannonade

The victory of the “ducks” was decided in the extra time by Troy Terry, who had already scored an assistance before and scored in the twelfth match in a row. It is currently the longest series in the profile. In the Anaheim jersey, club legends Teemu Selänne and Paul Kariya last had a twelve-match point series in the 1996/97 season. The Canucks equalized from 0: 2 to 2: 2 at the end of the match, when six and a half minutes before the horn, Miller reduced to 1: 2 and equalized 55 seconds before the end of Elias Pettersson.

Vladimir Namestnikov helped Detroit with a 4-goal victory over Edmonton with two goals. The Red Wings stretched the winning streak into three matches, with Alex Nedeljkovic giving a reliable performance in the goal (31 successful hits). “It was definitely one of our best matches of the season. If we continue to play like this, we will have victories ahead of us.” praised the Namestnikovs. The Oilers lost a four-match series of victories, with Stuart Skinner (35 hits) at the Canadian team’s goal.

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid scored at the start of the third period and stretched his points series to 11 games. Detroit striker Sam Gagner started his 900th match in his profile career, noting one assist in it. His father Dave played 946 games in the NHL and the Gagners became the sixth father-son pair with at least 900 games in the profile. Peter Šťastný (977) and Paul Šťastný (1012) are also missing from this list.

The San Jose hockey players won 4: 1 in Calgary and ended the Flames’ 10-point points series. Adin Hill shone in the Sharks goal, catching 37 shots. The “shark” for COVID-19 is still missing seven players, yet they won the third game in a row. “We have a balanced team and it doesn’t matter who starts and who doesn’t. Everyone who gets a chance will leave the maximum on the ice,” noted Hill, who, in addition to excellent performance, also recorded two assists. In the San Jose jersey, only Vesa Toskala managed to do so (February 3, 2007).

Boston defeated Ottawa 3: 2, when the winning goal was scored in the second period by captain Patrice Bergeron. Coach Bruce Cassidy achieved his 200th victory on the Bruins bench. Five coaches reached this milestone – Claude Julien (419), Art Ross (387), Milt Schmidt (245), Don Cherry (231) and Gerry Cheevers (204). The Senators lost the fifth game in a row.

LA goes map

The Los Angeles hockey players are in great shape, winning 3: 2 in Montreal and triumphing in the sixth game in a row. Adrian Kempe decided the overtime. On the other hand, last season’s finalists are still worried, the Canadiens have suffered their third loss in a row and the fifth in six past appearances. Kings Alex Iafallo took the lead in 2: 1 when he scored in the sixth second of the third part. It was the fastest goal since the beginning of the third in the history of the “kings”.
