NHL | Washington – Carolina 1: 6, Necas shone, drove Carolina’s win

Nečas started his first three-point evening of the season in the 8th minute, when he increased the puck from Vincent Trocheck to 2-0 for the Hurricanes. He added the second goal in the 36th minute, when he took advantage of Max Domi’s offers and over the space between the rings for the second time in the match he overcame Vítek Vaněček in the Washington goal.

The Czech goalkeeper did not succeed in the match and after two thirds at 1: 5 he was replaced by Ilja Samsonov. Even the Russian goalkeeper did not keep a clean sheet in the match. In the 50th minute, Nečas won the puck behind his goal, charged Trocheck and he closed the match with a shot from the blue line.

The 23-year-old native of Nové Město na Moravě has scored five points in the last two games and is the fifth most productive Czech in the NHL with 35 points. “It is clear that self-confidence and faith in one’s own abilities come with the points. But it is not just about the offensive, the coach always says that if we do our work in the back, the chances will eventually come,” said Nečas.

After two thirds at 1: 5, Vejmelka also took turns, who on the Edmonton ice failed to follow up on the successful performance from the last match against Winnipeg. In the last twenty minutes, Vejmelka was replaced by Kořenář, who in his premiere in the Coyotes jersey covered six of the seven shooting attempts.

The only one who beat the Spoiler was Leon Draisaitl, who scored his 48th goal of the year and equaled Toronto’s Auston Matthews at the top of the scorer table. One goal was also scored by NHL’s most productive player, Connor McDavid, who has only two points left to cross the 100-point mark.

After 22 minutes, the Chicago hockey players were already leading 4-0 over Buffalo, but they lost the hopefully played duel and lost 5: 6. Dominik Kubalík helped with the Blackhawks’ four-goal lead with two assists.

The match was decided by a curious situation from the last minute of the basic playing time. Tage Thompson broke the stick during a shot from the left circle and only hit the goal behind the goal, but the puck bounced right into the goal area, where Kevin Lankinen, who moved unhappily, knocked him behind his back. “I was going back to the substitute for a new hockey stick and suddenly I noticed that the boys were rejoicing. It never occurred to me that the puck could end up in the net,” Thompson said.

Buffalo turned over a duel in which she lost by four goals, for the fourth time in history. The last time the Sabers hockey players did this was more than 33 years ago in January 1989 against Boston.

In Monday’s remaining games, Seattle defeated Los Angeles 6: 1 and hockey players St. Louis defeated Vancouver 4: 1.
