Beijing (SID) – The exhilaration only lasted 24 hours: After the surprising victory over the Edmonton Oilers, Tim Stützle and the Ottawa Senators have returned to the reality of the NHL professional ice hockey league. Canada lost 4-1 to the New York Islanders. Stützle (20), who had scored the decisive goal in extra time the day before, did not score a point.
National goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer was not even used by the Seattle Kraken. His replacement Chris Driedger was unable to prevent the 3-2 defeat at the Boston Bruins. Seattle and Ottawa are among the weakest teams in the league, each with just 14 wins.
