Nico Hischier and Timo Meier were both credited with an assist on the opener, signed Dawson Mercer after 7’56 of play. The Valais center is now at 36 points this season, the Appenzell winger at 29. Their Zurich friend Jonas Siegenthaler remained “mute”, but he finished the match with a record of +2.
The Devils also led 2-1 but saw the Kraken come back twice. The Newark franchise, which will conclude a six-match road trip Thursday night in New York against the Rangers, forced the decision 37 seconds after the 2-2. In the 43rd, Ondrej Palat took advantage of an assist from Jack Hughes to offer his team a 25th victory in this 2024/25 financial year.
