The struggling Washington Capitals traveled to a battle with the Florida Panthers, who managed to beat the guests at the home Amerant Bank Arena with a score of 4:2. The first defensive pair of the Capitals traditionally featured a Slovak defender Martin Fehérváry alongside veteran John Carlson. The native of Bratislava was seen in the meeting chopping each other with the star of the home team, Matthew Tkachuk, when both served minor punishments. The “panthers” took care of the winning accurate shot during the final third, when striker Ryan Lomberg finally took advantage of the shooting advantage. Martin Fehérváry spent 17 minutes and 32 seconds on the ice, while he entered the statistics with a minus point, 2 shooting attempts or 3 blocked shots.

We witnessed a Slovak fight in the meeting between the New Jersey Devils and the Calgary Flames. On the home side, he introduced himself in the first defensive pair Simon Nemec with Kevin Bahl and vice versa in the attacking ranks of the “flames” Martin Pospíšil, who started alongside Nazem Kadri and Connor Zary. In the end, the Slovakian striker became the more successful of the pair, when he helped the Flames to a 5:3 victory with his assist. This happened during the middle 20 minutes, when Nazem Kadri’s shot fell to the Czech goalkeeper Vítek Vaněček, and after a subsequent save by Connor Zary, the visitors were able to take the lead. It was the 8th assist and 12th overall Canadian point in the NHL for the native of Zvolen. In the final minutes, the Slovakian hockey player took advantage of the hesitation of the Czech goalkeeper, when he shot into the open goal after Vítek Vaněček headed for the puck to the substitution of the home team. However, the referees finally decided not to recognize the exact hit due to whistling. Šimon Nemec was standing in front of the abandoned goal. In the final result, however, the guests did not have to regret it, when Andrew Mangiapane added insurance in the form of a precise shot into an empty goal. Martin Pospíšil spent more than 12 minutes on the ice and was able to record a plus point, 2 shooting attempts, the same number of given points or a blocked shot. He served a minor penalty for tripping in the last period. In the end, Šimon Nemec, who had the second shortest time on the ice among the Devils defenders, took the short end, i.e. 15 minutes and 54 seconds.
