Forward Sam Reinhart from Florida and goalkeepers Martin Jones from Toronto and Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg became the last week’s players in the overseas NHL, while the Slovakian star of the week is defenseman Martin Fehérváry from the Washington Capitals.
“Martin Fehérváry missed the match against the New York Islanders on December 29 after hitting the guardrail and was subsequently forced to miss the game against the Nashville Predators. On the second day of 2024, the defender from Bratislava returned to the game and scored twice in a row.” the Slovak version of the official website states NHL.com.
“He played 4 duels with the Capitals in 7 days, spent more than 20 minutes on the ice in all of them and helped win 4 points for 2 triumphs. Washington thus improved its position in the fight for a wild card in the Eastern Conference.”
