Mikhail Sergačov’s return to the Tampa lineup in the overseas hockey NHL lasted only less than two thirds. The Russian defender started after health problems for the first time since December 19, but in the battle on the ice of the New York Rangers (1:3) he was injured again and had to be carried to the dressing room on a stretcher.

An unpleasant moment for the 25-year-old Sergačov came in the middle period. After the fight with Alexei Lafrenier, his left knee got into an unnatural position and he could not continue in the duel. He previously missed 17 games, also due to a leg injury.
“It’s extremely difficult to see him in such pain in the first game back. Of course we’re praying for him, but it doesn’t look good.” responded his defense teammate Victor Hedman.
The entire Tampa team gathered around Sergačov after he fell on the ice, the Rangers players were also interested in his health. “It was obvious that they care about him, everyone left the substitution table. It’s a very difficult moment for him, emotions burst out in full force. This is about more than just hockey.” Jon Cooper, the coach of Tampa, reacted to the unpleasant moment. After a seven-match absence, he could also include Slovakian back Erik Černák in the lineup, who assisted on Tampa’s only goal in the third period.

Brock Faber is having a successful rookie season in Minnesota. The 21-year-old American defender participated in his team’s winning goal on the ice of Chicago (2:1) and scored his thirtieth point (4+26) in the 50th game of the ongoing season. He equaled the club record in points for a rookie defender, which was held by former Czech defender Filip Kuba from the 2000/01 season. His 26th assist in a season is also tied for the record of any rookie in Wild organization history.
