Slovakian defender Martin Fehérváry contributed an assist in the overseas NHL to the Washington Capitals’ regular triumph over Tampa Bay 5:1. His compatriot Erik Černák did not finish the game, picking up an injury in the third period when Alexander Ovečkin’s shot was blocked.
Fehérváry he took part in the precise intervention of the Belarusian striker Aljaksej Protas in the 35th minute. On the blue line from the first, he moved the puck to his defending teammate Nick Jensen, and his shot reached Protas’ goal to make it 3:0. For Fehérváry it was the second point (0+2) in the sixteenth game of the season. He spent 19:13 minutes on the ice, had one extra point, one shot on goal, one point and three blocked shots.
Black man he played 12 seconds longer with one point down, three “hits,” and blocked home team shots four times. Just like him, his teammate Mikhail Sergachev also had to leave the locker room soon after Ovechkin’s shot was blocked, and another defender, Cal Foote, was also injured in Tampa.

Sonny Milano shone with two premiership goals for Washington and also added an assist. He arrived at the club in mid-October as a free agent. John Carlson scored his 600th NHL point with the assist, becoming the first defensive back in Capitals history to score.
The home team has also managed without head coach Peter Laviolette, who is on covid protocol and assistant Kevin McCarthy has taken his place. Laviolette will also be absent on the bench on Sunday, when both teams will repeat the duel on the ice in Tampa.
San Jose ended a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory in Dallas. With a goal and an assist, Yevgeny Malkin contributed to Pittsburgh’s 4:2 victory over Toronto.
Mats Zuccarello scored the only goal late in the first period to give Minnesota a 1-0 win at Seattle Stadium. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury notched his first clean sheet in Minnesota and his 72nd in the pro league thanks to 28 saves.
In his career he managed to “reset” the 28th NHL team in the order and thus become independent at the top of the historical rankings. Ed Belfour, Dominik Hašek, Martin Brodeur and Tomáš Vokoun have scored clean sheets against 27 different teams in the league.
