NHL Roundup: Rittich Shines as Czech Goaltenders Face Tough Battles Across the League
The metaphorical ice was flooded with goals Saturday, but for Czech netminders, the night was more about weathering a storm than hoisting trophies. While Martin Necas faced a setback in his quest for the NHL scoring lead, David Rittich stood tall for Los Angeles.
Necas, coming off a scoreless outing against the defending Stanley Cup champions, couldn’t ignite the Carolina offense against the Panthers in a 6-0 defeat. "He was full of action," the article notes, "sending five of Carolina’s twenty shots," but their efforts proved futile.
“They scored the final goal when Nečas was sent off, a total of three times on power plays,” the game recap details, highlighting the Panthers’ ruthless efficiency.
Meanwhile, Rittich was a beacon of calm amidst a chaotic LA Kings game, stopping 20 shots as they overcame Ottawa in a 5-2 victory. His performance earned praise from the game’s analysts, who noted, quoting the recap, that he "surrendered two goals from 22 shots and had a shooting success rate of 90.9 percent".
Dan Vladař, however, faced the opposite fate, enduring a barrage of 43 shots in a 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh. “
Vladař was on the hook from the start and faced the most shots of the season,” the article observes.
While the night’s result was grim, Vladař’s determination shone through.
Adding a touch of Czech brilliance to the unfortunate night, Ondrej Palat set up a goal for New Jersey, but Washington rallied to secure a 6-5 win.
Beyond Unicorns:
The NHL saw a flurry of exciting matchups, with the New York Rangers edging out Montreal in a nail-biting 4-3 victory and the Predators succumbing to a 3-2 overtime loss against the Wild. St. Louis fell to Philadelphia in a thrilling 3-2 overtime finish, while the Vegas Golden Knights absorbed a comprehensive 6-0 shut-out from the Utah Jazz in a surprising result.
