Niederreiter scored the 5:1 in the 6:3 of the Carolina Hurricanes against the New York Rangers shortly before the end of the second period after a nice combination. It was the eleventh goal of the season for Chur.
Pius Suter, who lost 4-5 after overtime with the Detroit Red Wings at the Dallas Stars, has nine goals, with the Zurich player equalizing to make it 2-2. Unlike Carolina, who leads the metropolitan division, things will be tight for Detroit halfway through qualifying in the playoff battle.
The Minnesota Wild with Kevin Fiala are on course and won 5-1 against the Chicago Blackhawks (with Philipp Kuraschew). Fiala prepared the 5-0 with his 17th assist of the season.
Dean Kukan was only an extra in the Columbus Blue Jackets’ 5-2 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins, for which Sidney Crosby scored a hat-trick. For the Canadian superstar, it was the twelfth in his NHL career, the first in over three years. Pittsburgh is the team of the hour in the NHL with 15 wins from the last 17 games.
