NHL: Suter wins the Swiss duel with Hischier and Siegenthaler

The guests from Canada took a 3-0 lead at the start of the second period with three goals within four minutes. A deficit that the Devils, who competed without the ailing Timo Meier, could no longer make up. Captain Hischier’s goal to make it 4:5 halfway through the final third, his eleventh goal of the season, came too late.

Suter and Siegenthaler could not score any points, although this was only a side note for the “Swiss Devil”. He broke his left foot while trying to defend with his skate and is expected to be out for an extended period of time. Vancouver moved past Colorado into second place in the West, New Jersey is in the 8th and last place in the playoffs in the East.

Roman Josi also has a chance to qualify for the playoffs with the Nashville Predators. The Tennessee franchise defeated the highly decorated Dallas Stars 4:3 and is in 7th place in the West. The match winner for the Predators was Swede Filip Forsberg with two goals in the final third. Josi, who had more than 24 minutes of ice time, came away empty-handed after three games with his own scorer.

With the spectacular 8-4 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, the Florida Panthers underlined their current status as the strongest team in the league and extended their winning streak to seven games. Colorado, on the other hand, had to leave the ice as a loser for the first time after four successes.
