Two assists in Devil’s victory: selfless Hischier scores the decisive goal

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

After two defeats, the New Jersey Devils found their way back to success in front of their own audience. They beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-3.

Four goals were scored in the spectacular final third. First, the guests from Colorado equalized within half a minute with a double strike, making the score 3-3 and the match open again. This remained the case until shortly before the end, before the puck ended up with Nico Hischier in the 58th minute. The Swiss is in a good final position, but again passes John Marino, who finishes.

The assist for the winning goal is Hischier’s second assist of the evening. Earlier, the 25-year-old from Valais played an exemplary two-on-one situation with the Swede Jesper Bratt. With Timo Meier, the Devils’ second Swiss player also collected an assist point.

Suter in the high, Niederreiter in the low

The Vancouver Canucks with Pius Suter are still on a high. The clear leader of the Pacific Division beats the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2. New signing Elias Lindholm, who was traded from the Calgary Flames, scored two goals in his first game for the Canucks.

The Winnipeg Jets with Nino Niederreiter, on the other hand, are a bit out of sync. The 0:3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins is the fourth defeat in a row.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers narrowly miss out on the NHL wins record. After 16 wins in a row, they lost to the Vegas Golden Knights 1:3. The Pittsburgh Penguins, who achieved 17 successes in the 1992/93 season, continue to hold the record. (SDA/bir)
