Kevin Fiala (26) was decorated with the first star after the NHL championship game between St. Louis and Los Angeles (1-5) which was played Monday night at the Missouri City Enterprise Center.
The St. Gallen left winger, who started his first season with the Kings jersey, has contributed greatly to the success of the Californian team coached since 2019 Todd McLellan. His record: three assists. A harvest that allows him to remain among the leaders of the North American professional league (11 games, 12 points, including two goals).
In the den of the Blues, he served the first goal against Ontario center Gabriel Vilardi in the 14th minute. He is responsible for the 0-2 awarded to Carl Gundström in the 24th minute. And he offers 0-5 to the same Swedish right wing in the 30th minute. Deployed for 15’04, Kevin Fiala closed the game with a +3 differential.
One man, six points
The Swiss was not the most productive man in the group, however, in which only three games were scheduled. At the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, Tage Thompson (25) scored six goals in the Sabers’ convincing win over Detroit (8-3).
The American right fielder, who grew up in the Arizona desert, lit the lamp three times behind compatriot Alex Nedeljkovic and added three assists to his night of work. He just missed a point to match the franchise record held since 1976 by Gilbert Perreault.
In the Red Wings field, Pius Suter (26) was more discreet. The Zurich center scored three shots in the 14’26 spent in the area and scored a -2.
At the PNC Arena in Raleigh, Carolina defeated Washington on penalties (3-2). The winning try was converted by Russian right fielder Andrei Svechnikov.
