NHL | Detroit – Chicago 5: 8, Kubalík started the Blackhawks cannonade, Pastrňák scored for the seventh time in a row

Kubalík opened the score with the tenth goal of the season in the 11th minute. The Czech forward found a knocked-down shot by Seth Jones in front of the goal and cleared it into an uncovered Red Wings goal.

The Blackhawks increased to 4: 0 until the first break, but in the second part, the home team also reduced the difference with a single goal thanks to Hronek’s assistance with Tyler Bertuzzi’s shot. But the third act turned out better in Chicago again. The “Hawks” finished a four-match series of losses after another four-goal twenty-minute minute.

With the help of Hattrick and one assist, the center of the first attacking formation Blackhawks Dylan Strome flashed in the match. “This is my first hat-trick since 2017. I feel good in the last matches, so I’m glad it occurred to me there today,” said Strome. “I don’t know what he ate today, but it must have been something special. He was dangerous from basically every situation,” Kubalík praised his teammates.

Colorado has pulled a home series of wins to 17 games. The Avalanche hockey players led the Bruins 1-0 after the first period, but the failed second part, which they lost 0-3, almost deprived them of a record series.

Pastrňák scored the 38th point of the season in the 34th minute at the goal to 3: 1, after bringing the puck into the offensive zone, leaving it with Brad Marchand and he hit right in the upper right corner of Darcy Kuemper’s goal. With a balance of 20 + 18, Pastrňák moved among the Czech players in the NHL ahead of the current leader Tomáš Hertl from San Jose (21 + 16).

Colorado forced an extra time at 19:23, when Gabriel Landeskog equalized in a game without a goalkeeper. The extension of the winning series Avalanche was then decided in the 64th minute by Cale Makar, who shot the goalkeeper Linus Ullmark in a power play.

Porridge returned to the Toronto lineup after a fortnight. The Maple Leafs had to do without fans at home, who were banned from the stadium due to the deteriorating coronavirus pandemic in Ontario. Auston Matthews decided the victory of the Canadian team in the second series of raids.

San Jose won on the ice of Washington 4: 1, but Hertl came out empty in the second match in a row. Sharks in tenth place in the Western Conference have the same points as ninth in Dallas and eighth in Calgary, which scored a high 6-0 win on Columbus ice. The Flames overshot the home Blue Jackets 62:23 and broke the 1977 club record in the number of shooting attempts.

“We didn’t do well today. The opponent was significantly better on the puck and absolutely dominated. It’s not about the quality of the players, but about the effort you put into the match. They completely outperformed us today. Columbus coach Brad Larsen.
