Slovak hockey player Tomáš Tatar jumped into the game in two NHL night fights, who introduced himself with the New Jersey Devils on the ice of the Edmonton Oilers.
Only one Slovak hockey player appeared in two night games of the overseas NHL. Tomáš Tatar could rejoice at the victory of his New Jersey Devils on the ice of the Edmonton Oilers 3:0. Defender Šimon Nemec did not make it into the team again in the away team and was only a healthy substitute.
Tomáš Tatar on the night he started as a member of the fourth offensive formation together with winger Kurtis MacDermid and center Justin Dowling. Thanks to the good work of the fourth line, the Devils celebrated a valuable 3-0 victory. The Slovak entered the game in 11 minutes, he did not threaten the opponent’s goal, but he presented himself with two points and one recovered puck. In the fourth line, he has significantly more defensive roles and as one of the most experienced players, he accepted this role, which is also evidenced by his performances on the ice. Editor Vinnie Parise, who monitors the performances of the New Jersey Devils, also noticed the hard work of the Slovak winger. “Tomáš Tatar made some good and discreet actions in the defensive zone. We’ll see how much offense he delivers this season, but his hockey IQ is currently strong. With this sensible striker from the bottom six (3rd and 4th formation of the team) nothing bad is happening” at the end of his post on the social network, X alluded to his lower productivity in recent fights. Since October 24, he has recorded 1 Canadian point per goal in six duels.
Tomáš Tatar’s statistics:
bodysuits: 2
pucks obtained: 1
ice time: 17 shifts / 11:00 min
He is still in an unflattering situation Simon Nemecwho has been waiting for his chance for 6 matches only as a healthy substitute and watches the team’s duels from the stands. Luke Hughes – Brett Pesce is given priority in the third defensive pair. Two other right backs, Dougie Hamilton and Johnathan Kovacevic, still have a place in the lineup.
