The day after the return of the “defeated” team from the cabin to the ice and its subsequent victory, the NHL experienced another curious moment. Detroit hockey player Lucas Raymond injured himself in the face with a high stick, but the referees almost punished his opponent Will Cuyle. Only after a review of the unusual situation did the rookie in the New York Rangers jersey escape the penalty.

Curious situation in the game New York Rangers – Detroit | Video: Associated Press
In the 6th minute of the third period, Detroit held a 2-1 lead and faced the efforts of the home team to equalize.
Raymond wanted to release his team from the opponent’s pressure and moved the puck from his own goal area.
Cuyle tried to pierce the disc with his club, but it soon hit his opponent in the face.
The referees whistled the 21-year-old winger for a high-stick foul and went to check on Raymond for a bloody cut on his face, which would have added more penalty minutes to Cuyle.
However, after the Rangers protested, the referees reviewed the situation on video and found that the Swedish striker brought the opponent’s stick with his own hand when he tried to push it away, and hit himself in the face with it in the process…
The Riders didn’t have to go to four, although Raymond and the Red Wings substitute didn’t like it, and thanks to that, they turned the score in their favor to 3:2 in the remaining part of the period.
In the third act, they even sent nineteen shots at Detroit’s goal, from which attackers K’Andre Miller and Jimmy Vesey finally beat Ville Huss in the 56th minute.
The victory brought the New York team ahead of Vegas to the top of the entire NHL, third is Boston with a large Czech colony including star scorer David Pastrňák.
The injured Filip Chytil was still missing from the Rangers lineup. The Czech striker has been missing from the team since November 3 due to an upper body injury, he missed the eleventh game in a row against Detroit.
Columbus with David Jiříček lost at home to Montreal 2:4. The goals started falling only from the second period. The home team led 1:0 and 2:1 with hits from Patrik Laine and Yegor Činachev.
Montreal always responded within five minutes, with Alex Newhook and Cole Caufield equalizing the score. The match was decided by Joel Armia’s run in 57:03 and Gustav Lindström’s empty net sealed the win.
Jiříček played 18 minutes, during which he blocked three shots, the most of the team. The Czech guard also fired twice and added one negative point to the +/- statistics when he was on the ice with a goal tied at 1:1.
