Ottawa (AP) – Ice hockey national defender Moritz Seider has led the Detroit Red Wings to their fifth win in a row in the North American professional league NHL.
The 20-year-old defender scored the decisive goal to make it 4-3 in extra time against the New York Islanders. It was their tenth consecutive loss for the Islanders. “That wasn’t our best game,” admitted Seider. With more than 27 minutes, the NHL newcomer had the most playing time of all players.
Striker Tim Stützle was twice as successful for the Ottawa Senators. Thanks to its two goals, the team from Canada was the winner again after a lean period of six defeats and most recently the 3-2 win at the Carolina Hurricanes: In the 6-5 overtime win of the Senators against the Colorado Avalanche, he scored 19-year-old Stützle in the second third to 3: 2 and 5: 2.
The Minnesota Wild with Augsburg’s Nico Sturm remain the sovereign leaders in the Central Division. Thanks to a 4: 3 (1: 0, 2: 3, 0: 0, 1: 0) after extra time against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team from St. Paul already recorded their 17th win of the season and their sixth success in a row. Sturm remained without a goal participation.
