We were treated to 11 games last night for a very busy Saturday once again in the National Hockey League.
Moreover, several highlights caught attention.
Here are the main ones.
1. Striker Alex Tuch makes a sensational save
Last night, two mid-field teams from the Atlantic Division faced each other in Detroit, while the Buffalo Sabers were visiting to face the Red Wings.
It was a game with very few goals, as the Red Wings emerged victorious by a score of 2 to 1.
The goaltenders on both teams were solid, and even on the Sabers side, another player stood out in front of the net.
Indeed, striker Alex Tuch came to save his team’s furniture by making two consecutive saves on his knees on the goal line.
Seriously, the second stop with a little mustard might be a candidate for stop of the year.
Bravo to Tuch, who gave everything to keep his team in the match.
2. Auston Matthews comes to avenge Mitch Marner with a very hard body check
The Maple Leafs have always been known as being “soft,” especially when it comes to star offensive players.
They are generally very soft, and not physically involved.
Yesterday however, Auston Matthews came to the defense of his good friend Mitch Marner.
Marner was knocked to the canvas by St. Louis Blues defenseman Ryan Suter, and afterward, Matthews came in to serve a solid double check to Ryan Suter.
Here is the sequence.
In short, Matthews reacted well and did not hesitate to avenge his teammate.
Despite everything, the Leafs lost by a score of 4 to 2 against the Blues in St. Louis.
3. The Golden Knights remain undefeated (8-0-0) at home this season
Once again this year, Vegas is one of the best teams in the NHL.
The Golden Knights are dominant, especially at home.
They are so dominant at home that so far they are undefeated at T-Mobile Arena, while all eight of their wins this season have come at home.
Indeed, on their 8-3-1 record, they are 8-0-0 at home and 0-3-1 on the road.
That’s quite an impressive statistic.
The Golden Knights’ 8th home victory ended last night in overtime, as Brett Howden played the hero against the Utah Hockey Club to give his team a 4-3 victory.
4. The Canucks escape at the last minute with a victory against the Sharks
Vancouver is not dominating at the start of the season, while on the contrary, it is often more difficult than it should be for the Canucks.
They have a good team on paper, but the absence of Thatcher Demko in net seems to be hurting the team’s morale.
Last night, they struggled against the worst team in the NHL, the San Jose Sharks, when they were able to score a winning goal with less than 30 seconds left. at the match.
The Canucks therefore escaped at the last minute with the two points.
Note that in the victory, Jake DeBrusk scored his first goal with the Canucks.
5. A sensational American League goal for Donovan Sebrango
We now move to the American League, to the Belleville Senators, where we witnessed a superb goal from defender Donovan Sebrango.
Indeed, the son of the former CF Montreal player, Eduardo Sebrango, went with a shot between his legs without looking at the puck to score a magnificent goal.
It’s really a great achievement for the player of Canadian and Cuban origin.
