Philipp Kurashev finds the light again

Lined up due to Pat Maroon’s back injury, Philipp Kurashev scored for the first time since November 10. His last game with two points or more dates back to March 31. But the Bernese could not prevent the 32nd defeat of the Blackhawks, crucified by a success from Sebastian Aho after 59” of play in overtime.

In Salt Lake City, Nino Niederreiter scored his 13th goal of the season in Winnipeg’s 5-2 loss to Utah. Despite his success, El Nino will not keep a bright memory of… his first meeting of the year played away. The Jets were, in fact, trailing 4-0 before mid-game.

Finally in Los Angeles, Kevin Fiala’s Kings lost 5-1 to Pittsburgh. With 1 goal and 1 assist, Sidney Crosby recalled that at 37 he remained one of the men who matter in the NHL.
