NHL: On fire, Pius Suter receives the first star of the match

Will Pius Suter beat his goals record (15 in 2021-2022) in an NHL season? Everything indicates this at the moment as the Zurich resident is walking on water at the start of the campaign. On Saturday, he scored twice in the victory of the Vancouver Canucks on the ice of the San José Sharks (2-3) to bring his total to 4 goals in 9 games. If he maintains this pace until the end of the exercise, he will reach the plateau of 36 successes.

The former ZSC Lions player first equalized (35th, 1-1) before offering victory (60th, 2-3) to his team 26 seconds from the final siren. All this with a playing time of 12’39”. He was logically rewarded with the first star of the game.

After two consecutive defeats, Nashville returned to success in front of its home crowd against Colorado (5-2). Bernese Roman Josi played a key role in this victory. The most used player on his team (24’10”), the defender provided an assist on Steven Stamkos’ equalizer (9th, 1-1) before scoring the 3-1 (47th) for the Predators in power -play. He thus unlocks his counter this season.

Finally, Philipp Kurashev (18’13”) triumphed in the Swiss duel against Kevin Fiala (20’49”). The Bernese did not weigh in on this match won on penalties by the Blackhawks. The Saint-Gallois finished the match with two assists.
