NHL | Boston – Colorado 5:1, fantastic night for the Czechs in the NHL! Pastrňák and Hertl each scored two goals, others also made their mark

Boston also won their 14th home game of the season and celebrated their 20th win in their 23rd game. Pastrňák started the cannon against the defending Stanley Cup champions in the 14th minute, when he reached out from his favorite spot in the top left corner for a power throw-in and beat the French goalkeeper for the first time.

For the second time, the Czech scorer made his mark after Krejčí’s pass early in the second half. The experienced center sent Pastrňák on a separate breakaway, and the Havíř native did a great job. Lui signaled a loop and scored his 16th goal of the season with a forehand bluff. In his career, the 26-year-old striker has already racked up 256 goals and moved ahead of Václav Prospal in 11th place in the historical ranking of Czech top scorers. The elite ten is completed by Martin Straka, to whom Pastrňák loses only one shot.

Trent Frederic was the other two-score for the Bruins. Pavel Zacha was also involved in his first goal, which was involved in a successful combination with Charlie McAvoy and Charlie Coyle.

Hertl scored both of his Ottawa goals in the first period. He made his first impression in the eighth minute, when the puck from a sharp angle landed past fast-moving goalkeeper Anton Forsberg and opened the scoring for the game. He added the second goal four minutes later. After a winning combination, he ran in from close range to put the Sharks back in front with his ninth goal of the season.

The rest of the game didn’t go well for the Sharks. They conceded four goals and lost for the second consecutive time. Ottawa won for the fourth time in the last five games and confirmed its upward trend. Claude Giroux led the Senators’ turnaround with two goals and an assist.

After a successful performance, Philadelphia lost to New Jersey 2:3. In the 56th minute, Sedlák deflected defender Travis Sanheim’s shot and with his third goal of the season gave the Flyers hope of a breakthrough. However, the Devils didn’t suffer a tie and won the 17th of their last 19 games.
