Philipp Kurashev (25) will not keep an unforgettable memory of his 300th regular season game delivered in the NHL championship. At the United Center, where his Chicago team bowed 2-4 in front of Minnesota, the Bernese striker did not blacken the counters’ leaf, patinated for 14’50 ” and made a map of -1.
But, at least, he played …
While he had only been summoned once by his new Swedish chief coach Anders Sörensen between December 30 and January 19, the former Junior of the Berne appeared in the alignment of the Blackhawks during the three Last duels.
A novelty which is explained by the departure of another striker, the veteran Taylor Hall, exchanged at the Carolina Hurricanes for a choice of draft at the end of last week. And by the need to offer a showcase to the Swiss player before the deadline for transactions set for March 7. The Ville des Vents club does not intend to offer a new contract to their Swiss skater drafted in 120th position in 2018 and which presents the worst differential among all players aligned in the North American professional league since its Beginnings (-127).
The question is now whether Kyle Davidson, the director general of the Illinois organization will find a dance partner and if he can exchange Kurashev. If this was not the case, the Swiss skater will be able to test the market for autonomous players on July 1. Or bond with another club outside the NHL.
-Nino Niederreiter (32) is not faced with this type of concern. In Canada Life Center, the Grison winger enjoyed a new victory with his Winnipeg club. This time, it was Calgary who tasted the medicine of the jets (5-2), 2nd in the general classification of the league (51 matches, 71 points).
