After a confident home win: Niederreiter’s Jets remain on course for the play-offs

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

The Winnipeg Jets remain on their way to the NHL playoffs. The team with Nino Niederreiter beats the Washington Capitals at home 3-0.

With the comfortable victory, the Jets show a strong response to the 0:5 two days earlier against the Vancouver Canucks. The team with Pius Suter is currently number 1 in the West.

The Jets are keeping a rhythm of scoring goals against the Capitals. They each score once in the middle of the three-thirds. Niederreiter leaves the ice without further scoring points. Winnipeg remains in third place in the Western Conference standings.

Devils lose again to Rangers

The Los Angeles Kings with Kevin Fiala are four spots behind the Jets. The team from California consolidated their position with a 3-0 win at home against the in-form New York Islanders, who had previously won six games in a row.

The New Jersey Devils, on the other hand, are increasingly losing sight of the decisive phase of the championship. The team with Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler also lost their third game of the current season against the New York Rangers.

Siegenthaler eliminated on an elbow check

Shortly before the end of the second third, Siegenthaler took a bad elbow strike to the head from Matt Rempe. This results in a five-minute penalty plus a game misconduct penalty. The match also ends early for Siegenthaler. After that, he does not return to the ice. Coach Travis Green said after the game: “He’s obviously not doing too well. He didn’t come back.” There is no more information at this time.

With 1:3 in the neighboring game at Madison Square Garden, the Devils can hope for 73 seconds before the end. But then the American Vincent Trocheck made it clear with his goal in the empty penalty area. A good minute earlier, Hischier was one of the authors of Slovakian defender Simon Nemec’s goal. (SDA)
