In the Swiss game with Josi: Hischier and Meier lead Devils to victory with three goals

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Nico Hischier and Timo Meier, together with Roman Josi, were mainly involved in the victory of the New Jersey Devils against the Nashville Predators. The Valais double goalscorer and the Appenzell team scored three goals together in the 4-2 away win.

The matchup between the Predators and the Devils is an interesting affair not only from a Swiss perspective, but also when it comes to the battle for a place in the play-offs. Both teams would not yet qualify for the decisive phase of the championship. The Predators are ranked 9th in the Western Conference rankings, as are the Devils in the Eastern Conference rankings. They are both two points away from the “saving” 8th position.

Hischier and Meier made the difference in the Devils’ favor in the third third. The Valais scored the 2-2 after more than two minutes and the team from Appenzell took the lead for the first time after being twice behind more than five minutes before the end. Hischier scored his second goal of the evening into the empty net 39 seconds before the final siren.

Hischier is the most accurate Swiss player in this regular season with 16 goals. Meier has 10 goals. Josi, currently the Swiss faction’s most avid points collector, had a hand in both of the Predators’ goals. In addition to 11 goals, the Bernese now has 38 assists on his personal record.

Clap for Fialas Kings

In the second Swiss rendezvous on Wednesday evening, Pius Suter and the Vancouver Canucks won 4-2 against the Chicago Blackhawks with Philipp Kurashev. It is the meeting of extremes. The Canucks are No. 1 in the league in points, the Blackhawks, who are losing for the seventh straight time, are at the bottom. Kurashev was one of the creators of Tyler Johnson’s power-play goal in the second period to make it 1:2.

The Los Angeles Kings are hit hard. The team with Kevin Fiala lost 0-7 against the Buffalo Sabres. (SDA)
