Fehérváry spent 19:24 minutes on the ice, in the third period he served a two-minute penalty for hooking Sebastian Aha and the home team equalized to 2: 2 two seconds after his return to the ice. Washington coach Peter Laviolette was happy with his level after the match, he told nhl.com: “He didn’t have dead spots, it was really a duel of two quality competitors.”

The “Devils” of New Jersey prepared Philadelphia for the sixth time in a row, with Swedish striker Andreas Johnsson signing it with two goals and two assists. Jesper Bratt scored a goal and two assists. Tatar played in the third formation of the home team 13 minutes, he had three shots on goal. His compatriot Christián Jaroš is still injured. “From the first day I was in training, I saw how good Johnsson is. He’s really handy and great at the end,” praised teammate defender Hamilton. He made a nice gesture after the match. In the match, he had 10 shots on goal, one also went into goal. Hamilton said after the duel that he wanted to send his stick to the parents of his late friend Thei, who had died of cancer. Thea came from Calgary, where the 28-year-old Canadian played three seasons.

Halák presented himself in Boston in a duel against his former club and his 39 successful interventions were not enough for the points. The Canucks led 2 – 1 after two thirds, but Brad Marchand equalized in the 49th minute and then passed to the winning shot of David Pastrňák three and a half minutes before the end. Thirty-six-year-old Halák is still waiting for the first victory in the Vancouver jersey (0-4-1). “It’s hard to lose a match this way. We’ve put a lot of effort into it, the players have found a way to do it. But again, we’re disappointed.” said Canucks coach Travis Green.

Defender Erik Černák is still absent from the injury in the Tampa Bay team, which lost 2: 4 on the Minnesota ice. Ryan Hartman scored for the home team in the third match in a row. “I’m just trying to use the space I get,” Hartman said. The home goalkeeper Cam Talbot scored an assistance in the first goal, he was already his fourth in his career.

Swiss striker Timo Meier scored a two-goal victory for San Jose on the ice of Chicago 2: 0. The goalkeeper with the serial number 25 in the professional career was recorded by the goalkeeper of the guests James Reimer, the first after 22 months. He neutralized 29 shots of the opponent.

Toronto succeeded at the Anaheim Stadium 5: 1 and set the club record with a seventh victory on the opponent’s ice. Previously, the Canadian team managed to do so in the seasons 1940/41, 1960/61 and 2002/03. Striker Jason Spezza played his 1200th profile match. The goalkeeper Jack Campbell, who had 39 successful interventions, helped the guests to triumph. “I think Anaheim was definitely a better team in the first period, but in the second we managed to regroup and we started playing our game,” said Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe.
