Islanders hockey players with Zden Chár are looking forward to the goal against Philadelphia.

Thirty-five-year-old team’s defender scored the third goal of his team, who scored in an empty goal in the 59th minute during the power play of the opponent Jamie Benn.

Dallas recorded their second victory in a row in preparation, having lost three times before. He will enter the new year on the night of October 15, CET on the ice of the New York Rangers.

Zdeno Chára made his debut in an old-new jersey. His New York Islanders also defeated Philadelphia 3-0 thanks to a clear account by Cory Schneider. The Slovak veteran scored a plus, two penalty minutes and shot four times at the opponent’s goal.

After 20 years, Chara returned to the team that drafted him to the NHL. He agreed on an annual contract. He played for the Islanders until the 2000/2001 season.

He is currently preparing for his twenty-fourth season. Through Ottawa, Boston and Washington, he returned to the Islanders in the summer by signing a one-year contract.

“I think we did a solid game. But there is still room for improvement. We had a very good opening 20 minutes, then we allowed Philadelphia to return to the match.

They put a lot of pressure on us. We lacked sharpness in the second period. The fights in the preparation period are good for us to catch shortcomings and focus on performance for the whole 60 minutes.

We talked a lot about how we should play and now we need to move it to ice play, “Chara said on the NY Islanders website.

Slovak striker Richard Pánik also presented himself on the NY Islanders team, but did not score. Three shots on goal appeared in his record.

“It simply came to my notice then. I need to improve the leadership of the puck and speed up. I believe that it will come with more matches, “added Chára.
