The 45th Swiss player lined up in the NHL, the 20-year-old defender saved Dallas’ honor in the 31st to obtain the third star. Aligned for 15’46”, the Solothurn player was credited with a score of +1. However, the Stars ultimately conceded a very improbable defeat on their ice against an opponent deprived of their captain Roman Josi and who remained on… eight losses in a row.
Janis Moser was the only Swiss to score a point during this evening of 14 matches. The Zealander delivered an assist to cross the 10-point threshold during Tampa Bay’s 8-3 success in Calgary. A success which bears the mark of Nikita Kucherov, author of a match with… six points with a goal and five assists.
In the clash at the top of the evening in Newark, Kevin Fiala’s Los Angeles fell after six straight victories. The Kings lost 3-1 to New Jersey led by an untenable Jack Hughes with a goal and two assists. The Devils of Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler picked up their nineteenth victory in thirty-two games, their sixth in the last ten matches before hosting Chicago, the dunce of the League, on Saturday.
