The Devils’ Zurich defender victoriously recovered a puck from Finland’s Erik Haula in the 31st minute of play to make it 3-1. The Devils then secured their 9th victory of the year thanks to Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt. Timo Meier and Nico Hischier did not, for their part, darken the scoreboard.
In Newark, Siegenthaler scored his 10th career goal in the prestigious North American league (9 in the regular season, 1 in the play-off). The last one dates back to December 21, 2023 and a 6-3 defeat in Edmonton.
Winnipeg’s 13th victory
For their part, Winnipeg and Nino Niederreiter continued their momentum by winning at home against Colorado (1-0). A goal from Canadian Gabriel Vilardi after 66 seconds of play was enough for the Jets to sign a 13th success in 14 matches.
The gloomy outlook continues, however, for Roman Josi and Nashville, beaten 6-2 in Florida, against the reigning champion Panthers. Janis Moser and Tampa Bay (defeated 2-1 after penalties by Philadelphia) and Philipp Kurashev’s Blackhawks (beaten 3-1 in Dallas) were also deprived of points and victory on Thursday.
Finally, the Swiss “derby” between Kevin Fiala’s Los Angeles Kings and Pius Suter’s Vancouver Canucks turned in favor of the second (4-2). But the two Swiss attackers were not decisive.
