VIDEO Tatar helped New Jersey to win over Tampa, Pánik scored with assistance – Športky.sk

TAMPA – Slovak hockey striker Tomas Tatar contributed one goal to the triumph of New Jersey in the night match of the overseas NHL on the ice of Tampa Bay 5: 3. The 30-year-old pushed through in the 59th minute when he sealed the result of the duel into an empty goal. It was his second goal and seventh point in the current season. He spent a total of 13:30 minutes on the ice and shot three times on goal.

The “devils” decided the triumph with a great third period, which they won 4: 0. “We’ve lost a few games before and it would be very easy to wrap it up. But we didn’t give up, we went into the match with determination and three points are a great reward for us. This evening was amazing.” said striker Jimmy Vesey. Tampa coach Jon Cooper, who did not have the defender Erik Cern available due to injury, said: “We were knocked over in the third period. We played with fire and since this is the NHL, we got what we deserved.”

Assisted panic

Richard Panik scored one assist in losing the New York Islanders to the Calgary Flames 2: 5. The Slovak striker played 14:42 minutes and scored two shots on goal, three hits and a minus point. His teammate Zdeno Chára spent 19:24 minutes on the ice and added two penalty minutes to the goal shot

Andrew Mangiapane scored twice for the triumph, scoring twice in a power play and goalkeeper Jacob Markström, who performed 34 successful interventions. The Flames extended the points series to five matches. The Islanders had big problems with the line-up. The Covid Protocol lacked strikers Josh Bailey, Anders Lee, Anthony Beauvillier and Ross Johnston, and defenders Adam Pelech and Andy Greene. Beauvillier, Pelech and Greene were added to the list before the match. “I’m really disappointed. I was thinking of those players who couldn’t play for us. I sent them sms because they were the ones who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears behind it and kept it competitive.” said NY coach Barry Trotz.

Feherváry Washington wins

Washington won the San Jose ice smoothly 4: 0. Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin scored two goals and added an assist, Conor Sheary added another two goals. Slovak defender Martin Fehérváry played 19:03 minutes and scored two “pluses”, two shots on goal and six points.

Ovechkin made his mark for the first time since November 12, scoring his 742nd career goal, beating Brett Hull in fourth place in the gunners’ table. San Jose lost four of the past five duels, Caps goalkeeper Ilya Samsonov caught all 22 shark shots. The Russian goalkeeper scored his second clean sheet in a row. “It wasn’t the most beautiful victory. We had a good first period, but we allowed the opponent a lot in the second. But Samsonov did great. Two shutouts in a row are great for him. I hope he will play like this all season. He and Vítek Vaněček are reliable, “It’s very important that we have two good goalkeepers. If we make a mistake, they’ll hold us back. It’s psychologically important.” journalist Tariq El-Bashir quoted Ovechkin on his Twitter.

The Russian gunner has 744 goals, and 24 hits (766) of Jaromír Jágr. At the top of the rankings is Wayne Gretzky (894), followed by Gordie Howe (801).

Edmonton duo to stop

Connor McDavid scored a goal and added assistance in the Edmonton Oilers’ win over the Chicago Blackhawks 5: 2 and has stretched his points series to 17 games since the start of the season. He collected twelve goals and 20 assists in them. Leon Draisaitl also had a 1 + 1 balance and with 35 points (18 + 17) he leads the Canadian scoring of the competition.

Slovak defender Andrej Sekera was missing from the Dallas squad, but his team defeated St. Louis Blues 4: 1. With two goals, forward Jamie Benn shone, but especially his teammate Roope Hintz. He shot both in weakness.
