Only three matches were on display, on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, in the NHL. That did not prevent the Swiss from shining, well especially those aligned by Lindy Ruff, in the ranks of the New Jersey Devils, one of the strongholds of the best League in the world this season. The Newark players are currently second in the Metropolitan Division and are heading towards the play-offs.
Wednesday evening, traveling to the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, the New Jerseyers left no chance to Pius Suter (14’27 of ice time, only one shot on goal and -2 plus/minus) and company . They methodically dominated their opponents and Hischier led the way from the second period. The Valaisan prepared the 0-1 from Dougie Hamilton in the 20th, before planting the 0-2 himself in the 37th, on a serve from Hamilton.
The job was very neatly finished during the final period, on achievements from Michael McLoed (42nd), Alexander Holtz (47th) and Jack Hughes (54th). Lucas Raymond barely saved the honor of his family in the 58th. “It was a great victory, appreciated Hischier. We had a lot of guys who stood out and made great plays. His teammate Jonas Siegenthaler played twenty minutes and one second, for an exceptional record of +3.
The other two games of the night crowned Minnesota and Anaheim. The Wild made short work of the Tampa Bay Lightning (5-1), thanks in particular to a double from Kirill Kaprizov. The Ducks, them, overcame the Dallas Stars on goals from Adam Henrique (4th) and Mason McTavish (12th).
