Roman Josi and Timo Meier are playing big in the NHL. The Bernese is a scorer and two-time provider for the Nashville Predators, while the Appenzeller is a two-time scorer for the New Jersey Devils.
The Predators continued their high with a big win against the San Jose Sharks. They defeated the bottom team in the league 8-2 at home, which had to leave the ice as a loser for the 14th time in the last 15 games.
Predators equal record
The balance of Nashville is completely different at this stage. The team from Tennessee has won thirteen times in the last fifteen games, with the defeats against the Montreal Canadiens and the Minnesota Wild coming on penalties. With the 15-game point streak, the Predators tied their franchise record. Six years ago they achieved the same thing.
Josi is once again contributing to the increase. The captain opened the scoring after eleven minutes and was one of the authors of goals from Michael McCarron and Luke Evangelista, putting the Predators ahead 4-2 towards the end of the second period.
Devils have hope for the play-offs
While Nashville consolidated its place in the playoffs with the victory, New Jersey regained some hope of being part of the decisive phase of the championship with the 5-2 home victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They also owe that to Timo Meier. He made it 2-1 in the second period via the power play and again had the majority to make it 5-1 three minutes before the end. The Devils are currently six points out of a playoff spot.
Fiala and Kurashev with a brace
Kevin Fiala and Philipp Kurashev also collected additional scorer points in the direct match, which the Los Angeles Kings won 6-2 against the Chicago Blackhawks. The two Swiss strikers each have two assists to their name. The Kings are also on track for the playoffs, while the Blackhawks are still the second-worst team in points this season despite slightly better performances of late.
The evening’s winners also included the Winnipeg Jets with Nino Niederreiter and the Vancouver Canucks with Pius Suter. Winnipeg, currently ranked No. 2 in the West, defeated the New York Rangers 4-2. The man of the match is three-time goalscorer Mark Scheifele. The Canucks, leaders in the Western Conference standings, defeated the Buffalo Sabers 3-2 on home ice. (SDA)
