Although he did not play in the evening game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Seattle Kraken called up Slovakian forward Marián Studenič from Coachella Valley from the lower AHL on Saturday.

Studenič was called up a day after the NHL’s youngest team placed forward Andre Burakovsky on the injured list. This is his second job in less than two weeks.

Twenty-five-year-old Záhorák played two games in this NHL season with a minus point and two penalty minutes. He played 17 games on the “farm”, in which he scored seven goals and added five assists. The last time he enjoyed a goal was on Friday.

Šimon Nemec is currently living a dream in the first team of the New Jersey Devils, and his participation in the upcoming World Junior Championships seems less likely. However, the young defender believes that Slovakia can achieve success even without him or Juraj Slafkovský.

“Of course he has, he has an excellent goalkeeper in the form of Adam Gajan. They can certainly surprise and maybe there won’t be so much pressure on them and they can win a big result. We have a strong generation. In the past, we would have given a lot for two players in the NHL at this age,” Nemec told the Šport newspaper.

So is the participation of the German in the tournament definitively ruled out?

“I won’t answer that for you, but you probably know the answer,” answered the second pick of last year’s draft.

The German’s priority now is to stay in the NHL as long as possible. At the moment, he does not know how long he will be active in the first team. He will play in the first pair again on Tuesday against Vancouver, but then Brendan Smith will be able to return from suspension.

“I should play another game and we’ll see what happens after that. I believe I will stay at the Devils as long as possible. I will go all out in every match because I want to play in the best league in the world. The conditions cannot be compared with anything else,” said Nemec, who also compared the NHL with the AHL.

“I wasn’t as beaten as I was in the AHL, where I score five or six points every third period. I didn’t get similar ‘hits’ here, which surprised me. It was much easier to play in the attacking zone, because the players are very smart and know how to pass it to you. It was easier than in the AHL.”

OHL Slovaks did not score in the OHL. Martin Mišiak and Ondrej Molnár scored a minus point in Erie’s 3-4 overtime loss to Flint. The second-named also received a minor penalty for a cross.

Dalibor Dvorský sent up to seven shots on goal, but for the first time since arriving overseas he did not score. His Sudbury lost to Brantford 0:4. Alex Čajkovič recorded two minus points in North Bay’s 2:4 loss to Barrie, Servác Petrovský even four in Owen Sound’s 2:5 loss to Mississauga.

QMJHL Peter Repčík became the QMJHL’s first star of the game as he scored his first career hat trick and added an assist to lead Drummondville to a 6-3 win over Blainville-Boisbriand. He also scored a plus point and stretched his respectable goal streak to five games. After 18 duels of the season, he has 13 goals and 22 points.

The Washington Capitals team announced on Wednesday that veteran forward Nicklas Bäckström will take an indefinite leave of absence from hockey due to health reasons.

The 35-year-old Swede recorded one assist in the first eight games of the season. In the last one, he only started in January because of the hip joint surgery he underwent before it. He scored seven goals and 14 assists in 39 matches.

“Due to my injury situation, I have decided to take some time off from playing. This is a difficult decision, but one that I feel is right for my health,” declared Bäckström.

“I want to thank my teammates, the organization and the fans for their unwavering support throughout this process. At this time, I request privacy while I decide on my next steps and viable options for non-promotion.”

Bäckström has a valid contract with a cap-hit of 9.2 million US dollars until the end of next season.
