Hertl scored the winning goal of San Jose, Palát did not avert the debacle with two assists

With the winning goal and assistance, the Czech hockey striker Tomáš Hertl led to a 3: 2 overtime in Philadelphia in the NHL San Jose. The offspring of Prague’s Slavia was declared the first star of Thursday’s match.

Ondřej Palát also scored two points, but his goal recordings did not avert the Taka Bay 3: 9 debacle on the Florida ice. In the winners’ jersey, defender Radko Gudas made the eighth record of the year. Martin Nečas and Jakub Voráček also contributed to the winnings of their teams. Nečas’s Carolina defeated Montreal 4-0 and Columbus lost 4-3 after separate raids on Nashville, whose goal was David Rittich for the sixth time in a season.

Tomas Hertl’s winning goal in overtime:

Hertl confirmed his position as the most productive Czech hockey player in the competition. The Prague native scored for the eighth time in a row and has scored 25 points so far during the year. The Czech center of the second Sharks formation is the team’s best scorer with 16 goals.

Against Flyers, Hertl entered the statistics for the first time in the 28th minute, when he found Brent Burns free from the left guard, who sent the Sharks into the lead 2: 1 with a hard blow over the catch of the debuting goalkeeper Felix Sandström. The guests in the third part, thanks to Joel Farabee, leveled and sent the match into overtime. When it seemed that the set five-minute period would not decide the winner, Erik Karlsson and Hertl got into a two-on-one escape and the Czech forward shot the goalkeeper Sandström more than twice.

The Sharks managed the second game after the Christmas break after a shootout with Arizona, which they defeated 8: 7 in overtime, and in the Pacific Division table they approached the positions guaranteeing the playoffs by a difference of one point. Flyers in the Metropolitan Division are losing seven points to the fourth Pittsburgh.

In the derby against Tampa Bay, the Florida hockey players vigorously cut off the four-match Lightning winning streak. The Panthers were the first team in the year to score nine goals and declassified the weakened championship team. Jonathan Huberdeau had the main share in the Florida victory, scoring a goal and adding four passes.

“We played a great match and it’s good that we won at home for the second time in a row. We needed a couple of such matches to catch up again,” said Huberdeau. “Although the opponents lacked several key players, we focused only on ourselves and came for the victory,” he added.

Defenders of the title were missing nine players due to injury or illness, including the first goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevsky. “We have to reckon with the fact that someone may drop out of our team due to injury or illness. This is absolutely no excuse for our performance today. We certainly cannot continue in the next matches as we do today,” said defender Ryan McDonagh.

Palát assisted in the second and third goals of his team and scored in the third match in a row. With 22 points (10 + 12) he is the third most productive Czech in the competition behind Hertl and Voráček.

In the duel against Nashville, Voráček scored the 22nd goal record of the season and helped the Flyers to win 4: 3 after separate raids. At the beginning of the second part, the Kladno native called for Patrick Laine, a returnee to the Blue Jackets returnee, and together with the first 18 assistants, he rules the entire NHL together with Connor McDavid from Edmonton. The defeat of the Predators was not averted by Rittich either, who covered 26 shots.

Nečas scored the fourth Canadian point in the last four matches. With the eleventh assist in the season, the Czech forward helped the Hurricanes move to second place in the Eastern Conference table. With two goals, the Finnish forward Teuvo Teräväinen led Carolina to the third victory in a row.

The Calgary hockey players won on Seattle ice 6: 4 and finished the four-game series without a win. Johnny Gaudreau scored three points for two goals and assistance. Los Angeles also won, finishing the seven-game winning streak of Vancouver with a 2: 1 win after separate raids. The duel of teams from the bottom of the Eastern Conference table turned out better for the hockey players of the New York Islanders, who defeated Buffalo 4: 1.
