There were 4 Slovak hockey players in action, but they only appeared in two duels. The fight between the experienced defender and the draft unit resulted in an unpleasant injury without the length of the absence being specified in more detail yet, the pair of attackers managed to win.
Montreal lost a two-goal lead in the meeting with Tampa, conceding four times in a row. In the 58th minute, Nick Suzuki gave hope to the visitors, who after Slafkovský’s run in front of the goal got to the puck and reduced the score to 3:4 from an angle, but the Canadiens were unable to equalize. Slafkovský scored his thirteenth point of the season (4+9), played 20:42 minutes and had one shot.

Černak spent only 6:39 minutes on the ice with a minus point, as in the 25th minute he was left behind his own goal after being hit by Anderson. After reviewing the video, the referees gave him a two-minute penalty and five minutes for the subsequent fight with Luke Glendening, who immediately went to “revenge” Černák.
