Nico Hischier and Kevin Fiala found the net in the last round of the NHL. The Devils inflicted its first defeat on the newly formed Utah franchise (3-0), while the Kings surrendered 8-7 in overtime against the Senators. Having scored in the season opener in Prague against the Sabres, Nico Hischier then had to wait for his fifth match to find his scoring streak again. His second goal of the season came thanks to an assist from Jack Hughes, on which the Valais man did not tremble and sent the puck into the opponent’s cage. Hischier then also served an assist. However, the other two Swiss players who took to the ice, namely Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler, were dry.
Kevin Fiala (Los Angeles) instead scored a brace, both times on the powerplay, in his third game of the season. These are his first goals this year. On the road in Ottawa, the Kings were relentless on offense, but at the same time showed a very vulnerable defense. A total of 15 goals were scored on the Senators’ ice. Josh Norris, who scored in overtime, gave the Canadians the win.
