The New York Islanders lost to Columbus 2: 3 after extra time. Zdeno Chára played in the “islanders” jersey for 18.5 minutes with a minus point.

The “Devils” from New Jersey came in without Jack Hughes, who dislocated his shoulder in the match against Seattle and the club placed him on the list of injured players on Thursday. Only two Slovaks Tatar and Jaroš presented themselves in the Devils team, Marián Studenič was again a healthy substitute.

Tatar did not succeed in the match, he spent only 13 minutes and 18 seconds on the ice and recorded two consults. Jaroš played for 15 and a half minutes and scored two shots.

In their first match with the opponent, the Capitals laid the foundation for success in the opening 20 minutes, when Anthony Mantha and Dmitry Orlov prevailed.

The next two goals were added by Daniel Sprong and Yevgeny Kuznetsov, for the home team he only corrected the loss seven minutes before the end of Janne Kuokkanen and ruined Vítek Vaněček’s clean sheet.

“In situations of 50 to 50, we lost a lot of fights for the puck at the guardrails in the middle of the rink. That was the cause of the failure. We missed Hughes, but we won’t talk about it, “said New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff after the first loss of the Devils of the season, according to the nhl.com website.

Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin did not score, but scored two assists and scored in the fourth game in a row. Fehérváry gave a reliable performance again.

He re-entered the first defensive formation with John Carlson, in 20 and a half minutes on the ice he scored one shooting attempt, four hits (most of the team) and three blocked shots.

“When we got the goal, the opponent had only 17 shots on goal. In five-on-five play, we played very well in defense. However, it was not an easy match, because they have young and fast players, “added Caps coach Peter Laviolette.

The victory of Columbus over the Islanders was decided by Patrik Laine, who scored in overtime for the second time this season.

“We exchanged the puck with Werenský and I wanted to go turn to the middle zone. At that time, however, I realized that they had a long rotation, so I tried it and succeeded. Our goalie coach Manny Legace told me to shoot over the kick and advised me well, “said Laine.

The unforgettable match was played by 18-year-old striker Cole Sillinger, who at the end of the first period got Columbus into the lead with his first goal in the NHL 2: 1.

At the age of 18 and 158 days, the son of former longtime NHL player Mike Sillinger became the fourth youngest player in Blue Jackets history with a premier profile hit. The October 2002 record is held by Rick Nash, who made his mark at the age of 18 years and 116 days.

“I was not under pressure. I had some chances in every match, so I knew it would come one day. I try to play as much as possible for the team and leave everything on the ice, “said Sillinger, whom Columbus drafted from 12th place this year.

Chára had one negative point in his fourth match after returning to the Islanders, he sent one shot at the goalkeeper Elvis Merzlikins, he had one hit and blocked two shots. He is still waiting for his first Canadian point.

Connor McDavid helped Edmonton with two goals and assisted in a 5: 1 victory over Arizona. Captain Oilers scored his 200th and 201st career goals in his 411st NHL game.

In the history of Edmonton, only Wayne Gretzky (242 matches), Jari Kurri (328) and Glenn Anderson (348) scored 200 goals faster. McDavid is leading the NHL with six goals and eleven points.

Zach Hyman pushed twice, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins added three assists. The only goal Coyotes scored in his first NHL game was 25-year-old defender Dysin Mayo. Under the leadership of new coach Andre Tourigny, the “coyotes” have not won this season.
