Timo Meier is back – and how! The Appenzell NHL forward scored in his first game with New Jersey, but the Devils won 5-4 after overtime thanks to a goal from Arizona’s Nico Hischier.
That’s what you call a tailor-made debut: after switching from the San Jose Sharks and recovering from an upper body injury, less than ten minutes passed in the away game against the Arizona Coyotes before Timo Meier scored his first success with the New Jersey Devils . A shot from Dougie Hamilton saw the Swiss sink a backhand rebound after 9:09 minutes to make it 1–0. For Meier, who wears the shirt number 96 according to his year with the Devils and is used as a left wing in the 2nd line, it is already his 32nd goal of the season.
Hischier’s goal in extra time decides the match
The 26-year-old from Herisau has already shown on several occasions that he hardly needs any start-up time. Both in his NHL debut in 2016 with the Sharks and in his first international match for Switzerland at the 2018 World Cup in Denmark, the power forward was immediately among the scorers.
His compatriot and captain Nico Hischier is concerned that Meier’s debut with the Devils will end victorious. The Valais number 1 draft of 2017 decides the game with a goal after 23 seconds of extra time. For Hischier, who was named best player of the match, it is the 27th goal of the season, the seventh that decides a game. The Devils, the third best team in the East, are coming off the ice for the fourth time in their last five games.
With Denis Malgin, a third Swiss can be celebrated as a goalscorer in the NHL on Monday evening. Last year’s leading scorer for the ZSC Lions gave the Colorado Avalanche a 2-1 lead shortly after halftime in their home game against the Seattle Kraken. In the end, however, the winner of the Stanley Cup had to admit defeat by 2:3 after extra time. Pius Suter (Detroit Red Wings) also loses, but does not score a point. (SDA)
