Roman Josi is unstoppable.

In the night from Sunday to Monday, Roman Josi made Roman Josi. The Predators captain was fielded for over 27 minutes and provided two assists. Enough to collect the 3rd star of the game, but above all to become the 2nd player of the Tennessee franchise (founded in 1998) to score at least 80 points in one season in the biggest league in the world. He joined in the history books Paul Kariya, author of 31 goals and 54 assists during the 2005/2006 financial year.

The Bernese is also the 3rd NHL defender to break this ceiling in 16 years, with superstars Brent Burns (83 points in 2018-2019) and Erik Karlsson (2015-2016) at his side. Going back even further in time, with 81 units on the clock in the regular season between 1995 and today, we notice that the Swiss sat down at the table of legends Brian Leetch (85 in 1995-96) and Ray Bourque ( 82 in 1995-96). That makes you a man.

According to projections, he should approach the plateau of 100 points at the end of the regular season. He remains on an absolutely crazy sequence of 28 points scored in his last 13 meetings. Longest running streak in all of North America. “I think it’s just important for us to play well and have good matches,” he said. Even though we have won our last three matches, we haven’t been good. We had won on our power plays. But at this point in the season, it’s just important to win and come back like this, play our style… it was huge today.

The Bernese was not the only one to shine that night. Kevin Fiala went there with his decisive goal, in overtime, during the success of the Minnesota Wild at home once morest the Colorado Avalanche (3-2 ap). Jonas Siegenthaler and Nico Hischier both played more than 22 minutes, but were shut out during the New Jersey Devils’ difficult victory once morest the Montreal Canadiens (3-2 pens). Pius Suter participated in the Detroit Red Wings’ rout in Pittsburgh (11-2!), while Janis Moser remained in the stands to see his Arizona Coyotes lose in overtime in Winnipeg.
