Hockey striker Jakub Vrána helped Detroit on the ice of Columbus with a goal and a pass to turn from 0: 2 to the final 5: 2 and was chosen as the first star of the match. Filip Hronek also took part in the Red Wings win with two assists. Ondřej Palát mitigated the loss of Tampa Bay 2: 5 with Dallas with a pass. Vítek Vaněček covered 25 of the 28 shots, but did not avert the defeat of Washington 2: 4 with Philadelphia.
Detroit lost 0: 2 in the 34th minute, then turned to 3: 2 in 182 seconds. Hronek and Vrána prepared a contact goal in the power play, after which Joe Veleno scored from the left circle. He leveled Danny DeKeyser and Crow completed the turn with a shot from the ring.
The Czech forward has scored seven goals in ten games since the exchange from Washington. In the end, Vladislav Naměstnikov sealed the win in power play with two hits to an empty goal. Hronek scored an assist for the last goal.
The main architect of the Dallas win was Joe Pavelski, who scored two goals and passed on for the next two. An experienced striker in the middle period increased the lead of the team to 2: 0 and 3: 1, then assisted with two more goals.
After Hertl’s pass, Erik Karlsson opened the score with a shot from the blue line and Timo Meier raised in the 25th minute. Arizona equalized in the second period and in the 45th minute Phil Kessel took the lead from the lead of the Coyotes. The home team evened up, but the referees called off Karlsson’s shot due to an offside in which Hertl found himself throwing the disc into the offensive zone. Immediately, the guests added a fourth goal from the renumbering.
Jeník led the third attack and spent thirteen minutes on the ice. His memorable moment came in San Jose without a goalkeeper, when he got a puck in the middle zone, drove him into the attacking third and scored with a shot through the defender. He won Arizona’s victory and his debut with a goal of six tenths before the end of the match.
In just 49 minutes, Tampa corrected to a 2: 5 overtime game when Alex Palre-Boulet fired into the open goal after Palát’s pass. Last year’s finalist kept the hope of advancing to the playoffs with the victory, reducing the loss to two points in Nashville. Both teams have two games left to play by the end of the regular season.
Vaněček caught for the third time in a row, because Ilya Samsonov is out of the game due to the covid protocol. The Czech goalkeeper collected in the second minute, when, after a surprising rebound from the back guard, a barrier arose, from which Joel Farabee made his mark. Even in the first period, Daniel Sprong equalized, who scored the sixth goal in the last two weeks in the place of the injured Alexander Ovechkin.
The match in Washington was decided by Wada Allison, who scored Philadelphia in the second period with two goals in the 3: 1 blockbuster. Home TJ Oshie lowered, but in a game without a goalkeeper, Flyers Sean Couturier secured the win.
