Janis Moser (22) has ended a 37 game drought in the NHL championship. On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, at Rogers Place in Edmonton, the Bernese defender of Arizona lit the lamp for the first time since December 29, 2022 in a losing cause (4-3 ap).
In the 16th minute, on the power play, the No. 90 of the Coyotes surprised Alberta goalie Stuart Skinner with a wrist shot to make it 1-1.
This is his 6th goal since the start of the 2022-2023 regular season, his 10th success in the most competitive league on the planet (115 starts).
McDavid’s 60th goal
The unbalanced duel if we rely on the statistics of shots on target (31-17) was decided by Connor McDavid after 91 seconds of extra time.
The Ontario Oilers center player has thus reached the plateau of 60 personal goals since the beginning of this campaign. He achieved the feat in his 72nd game, which is a quickest record since the introduction of the salary cap in 2005. In 2021-2022, Toronto American Auston Matthews needed 73 games to score 60 goals. In 2007-2008, the Russian from Washington Alex Ovechkin had hit this prestigious bar in his 76th game.
In the history of more than a century of the League, Connor McDavid is the 22nd player to enter the circle of “men with 60 goals”.
Defeat for Malgin
The other face-off that was on the schedule smiled on Pittsburgh, who won 2-5 against Colorado at the Ball Arena in Denver. A success that allows the Penguins to become one of the top 8 teams in the Eastern Conference provisionally qualified for the playoffs.
Solothurn forward Denis Malgin (26) skated for 15’33” with the Avalanche without improving his production record.
