Winnipeg, which has won streaks of eight and six in a row, is the first team to win 14 of its first 15 games. The record was held by the Quebec Nordiques of 1994/95, the Ottawa Senators of 2007/08 and the Colorado Avalanche of 2013/14, who had 13 wins in 15 matches.
Against the Dallars Stars, the Jets forced the decision thanks to 32 saves from their goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck, who made it 4-1 with 1’22 remaining in the match. Hellebuyck was then 191 minutes and 47 seconds gone without conceding a single goal, a record for the franchise. Niederreiter, for his part, remained “silent” on Saturday.
Roman Josi’s Predators, for their part, ended a series of three defeats by dominating Utah 4-0. The Bernese defender managed two assists to reach the 10-point mark in this 2024/25 financial year, during which Nashville won only 5 of its first 15 matches.
Jonas Siegenthaler was also the only Swiss to shine in the camp of the Devils, who won their third consecutive victory on the ice of the New York Islanders (4-3 ap) after being led 3-1. The Zurich defender, scorer of his first goal of the season two days earlier, scored an assist on Saturday.
Pius Suter, for his part, scored his fifth goal in this 2024/25 championship. But the Zurich resident hardly celebrated this success, falling on a power play 54 seconds from the end of a match that the Vancouver Canucks lost 7-3 at home against Edmonton.
