On the night from Saturday to Sunday, two Slovaks were in action in the overseas NHL, although five were direct witnesses of the matches.
Tomáš Tatar was to the victory of the New Jersey Devils over the San Jose Sharks (2: 1) and Martin Fehérváry contributed with his interventions to the triumph of the Washington Capitals over the Los Angeles Kings (4: 3). Another “standing ovation” was also appreciated by Zdeno Chára, Juraj Slafkovský watched from the stands the heavy defeat of the Montreal Canadiens against the Dallas Stars (2: 5) and Erik Černák did not help the Tampa Bay Lightning in the victory over New York Islanders (5: 3).
Zdeno Chara returned to the ice of the Boston Bruins. The “Bears” greeted the legendary Slovak defender, who threw the first balls, before the start of Saturday’s duel with the Minnesota Wild (4: 3 after extra time). They later showed him a video with the most memorable moments of his career. Zdeno Chára spent 14 seasons in Boston and in 2011, as captain, led the Bears to victory in the Stanley Cup.
Striker Tommaso Tataro still waiting for the first Canadian point of the current season. He played the game with the San Jose Sharks in third formation alongside center Erik Haula and outside Miles Wood. He spent 14:50 minutes on the ice, during which he recorded three shots on goal and one blocked attempt. He also added a point to his stats and for 1:16 minutes coach Lindy Ruff sent him on the ice during the power games.
Only an 18-year-old forward Juraj Slafkovský missed last night’s game against the Dallas Stars due to a minor upper body injury. It shouldn’t be anything serious, his health condition will be evaluated daily by the doctors.
Tampa Bay Lightning also had to do without a defender due to an upper body injury Erik Cernak in the match with the New York Islanders, who had not finished the previous match with the Florida Panthers.
Another Slovak in action was a defender Martin Fehervary. He played the game with the Los Angeles Kings in the second defensive pair with Nick Jensen, spent 19:06 minutes on the ice and scored 5 points plus a shot attempt. He played 39 seconds in total.
