Josi shines as a two-time goalscorer in Pred’s victory

“We cried together uncontrollably,” Nino Niederreiter said after moving to the Winnipeg Jets about him and Roman Josi. The Berner seems to have digested the transfer hammer well. The captain of the Nashville Predators shines in Game 1 without the Bündner striker as a double goal scorer.

Josi led his team with two goals to a 6-2 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. The Bernese defender made it 3-1 in the 23rd minute and increased it to 5-2 in the final third minute on the power play with his 17th goal of the season. In addition, he can write an assist to his name with the last goal. Josi has rightly been named the best player in the game.

Defeats for Fiala and Berni

With the third win in a row, the Predators keep pace with the playoffs. They are currently fifth in the Western Division, six points behind a wildcard spot. For the Arizona Coyotes with Swiss defender Janis Moser, the playoff train is probably on. They are already 15 points behind Nashville.

Niederreiter himself is not yet part of the Jets’ 4-0 loss to the New York Islanders. Kevin Fiala (Los Angeles Kings) and Tim Berni (Columbus Blue Jackets), the two other Swiss players who will play on Monday evening, also remain without a win. (SDA)
