Kurashev also plays big: Fiala secures a point for Kings, Niederreiter beats Josi

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

The only Swiss who can get on the top scorers list on Friday evening is Kevin Fiala (27). The Los Angeles Kings lose 3:4 to the Pittsburgh Penguins after extra time, but get a point thanks to the East Swiss player. With the interim equalizer that makes the score 3-3, the striker ensures that the match is extended.

Yet a series comes to an end for the Californians, after four victories in a row they have to leave the ice as losers again. Personally, things are going well for Fiala: the 27-year-old has 13 points after 14 games.

Niederreiter wins Swiss duel

Nino Niederreiter (31) wins with the Winnipeg Jets against his former clubmate Roman Josi (33). For the Nashville Predators, a ten-day road trip ends with the fourth defeat in the fifth away game with the 3:6 in Winnipeg. The team around the Bernese player, who played more than 28 minutes, was already 1:4 behind halfway through the match.

Winnipeg’s leading scorer Kyle Connor was decisive with a hat trick. Niederreiter provided an assist in the 1-0 win against his old club and has 10 points after 13 games.

Kurashev and Suter with assists

Philipp Kurashev (24) currently has an even better figure. Since missing the start of the season due to a wrist injury, the Davos native has collected six points in six games, most recently adding two assists in a 5-3 win at Tampa Bay. Kurashev has been involved in Connor Bedard’s goals twice. The 18-year-old number 1 pick in this year’s draft can score multiple points in a game for the first time (2 goals, 2 assists).

Kurashev’s former teammate Pius Suter is also successful. For the 27-year-old center of the Vancouver Canucks, his personal winning streak of three games with one goal each ends with the Ottawa Senators (5:2), but he records a fifth win in a row with the Canucks. (SDA/che)
