NHL | Columbus – Pittsburgh 2: 3, Voracek did not avert the loss of Columbus with assistance, he also recorded Faksa

In the 5th minute, Voráček took part in the action that preceded the opening goal. The goalkeeper of the Czech striker was eliminated by the goalkeeper Casey DeSmith, but the rebounded puck was found by Jack Roslovic, who, with a cross pass from the right mantinel, invited Oliver Bjorkstrand to score. The Danish striker did not unravel and scored his 100th goal in the 353rd match in the NHL. “Every such milestone is beautiful, but I would enjoy it much more if we won,” complained Bjorkstrand.

Voráček has scored eleven points in the last eleven duels and with 38 entries (2 + 36) he is the third most productive Czech in the NHL behind David Pastrňák and Tomáš Hertl.

Columbus lost to the Penguins 2: 3, even though he led 2: 1 after the second period. The star strikers Yevgeny Malkin and Sidney Crosby arranged a turnaround in the score. The 34-year-old Canadian decided to win the Penguins in the 58th minute, when he used his emphasis on the goal and knocked down the disc behind Elvis Merzlikins.

“Sidney’s goal was a beautiful example of the fighting spirit and determination with which the team played today’s match,” said home coach Mike Sullivan.

The captain of Pittsburgh scored his 74th winning goal in his career and tied the third Mario Lemieux in the club tables. In front of the Canadian duo is only Yevgeny Malkin, with 75 victories and Jaromir Jagr, who decided to win the Penguins in 78 matches.

Thanks to the 16th goal of the year, Crosby has moved among the 25 most productive players in the history of the competition. With 1,375 points, the three-time Stanley Cup winner broke away from Mike Modan.

Thanks to Crosby’s hit, Pittsburgh won for the second time in a row and holds fourth place in the Eastern Conference table. The Blue Jackets have lost important points in the fight for the playoffs and they have a ten-point shortfall in ninth place in Washington’s eighth place.

Dallas hockey players, who defeated Buffalo 4: 2 and moved ahead of Edmonton to eighth place in the Western Conference, are also on the verge of advancing to the elimination fights. WITH

Michael Raffl, who added another shot in the duel and was the main architect of the prize, opened the score after Faks’ assistance. The Czech striker broke the sixteen-match waiting for the Canadian point and scored the tenth assist in the year.

For the second time in a row, Tomáš Hertl came out empty-handed. The second most productive Czech in the competition played twenty minutes during the victory of San Jose over Seattle, during which he never once threatened goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer. Kraken lost 1: 3 to the Ice Sharks and suffered his seventh loss in a row.

Arizona also lost, which was not enough for Winnipeg at home. The Jets beat the Coyotes 5: 3 with two goals from Kyle Connor and remained in 12th place in the Western Conference. The Coyotes, in whose goal Scott Wedgewood was given priority over Karl Vejmelka for the second time in a row, are still the last.

Lukáš Dostál also watched Anaheim’s match against the NY Islanders only from the substitute. Anthony Stolarz entered the Ducks goal, but did not avert the loss 0: 4.

The star of the match was his counterpart Ilya Sorokin, who covered all 34 Anaheim shots and picked up the fifth clean-up of the season. Only Jacob Markström from Calgary has more zeros.

Nor did Jordan Binnington collect, who captured Chicago for the second time this season and helped St. Louis to win 4: 0. The Blues have won for the fourth time in a row, holding second place in the West behind Colorado.

Carolina strengthened its position at the head of the Eastern Conference with a 2: 1 victory over Edmonton. The victory was managed by the first formation Teräväinen (1 + 1), Aho (1 + 0), Svečnikov (0 + 2), which scored both goals. Martin Nečas did not score in almost 11 minutes.
