The Devils were losing to Vancouver from the fourth minute, but in the first period, thanks to Jack Hughes, they equalized and jumped to a two-goal gap before the half of the match. With two hits in less than half a minute, Palat took care of it, first deflecting Dougie Hamilton's shot and then finding the rebounded puck between the circles and making it 3:1.

After another 23 seconds, Hughes made his second attempt and the home team jumped to a three-goal gap. However, the Canucks did not give up and fought for overtime. That was decided in the last minute by Jasper Bratt and helped New Jersey to its eighth win in the last ten games.

That's the only thing in my head,” said the 23-year-old striker.

The match ended at 4:4 in extra time, in which the home Rangers were happy. Alexis Lafreniere finished a two-on-one from the rebound to give New York their first win over the Flames since March of 2018. goal, so I braked quickly and tried to score a goal from the turn. Fortunately, it worked,” Lafreniere described the decisive situation.

Dallas defeated Anaheim 3-2 on separate runs to secure the lead in the Western Conference. In the ninth minute, Faksa presented the puck to Nils Lundkvist, who opened the scoring from close range. The Czech forward scored after three games and recorded his 11th point of the season.

Arizona beat Minnesota 3:2 and scored for the third time in a row. Two-goal running back Jakob Chychrun led the Coyotes' win. Vejmelka flashed 33 saves and a success rate exceeding 94 percent.

“After that break, it wasn't an easy match at all. I think we prepared for it more than well. We were full of energy and Veggie (Vejmelka) caught a great game. He made some great saves and kept us in the game,” he praised the Czech goalkeeper Chychrun.

Bo Horvat made his debut in the NY Islanders jersey. After the trade from Vancouver, he was inserted into the center of the first attacking formation and played 19 minutes in a 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
