Timo Meier is on fire with San Jose in the NHL.
Three Swiss put their names on the score sheet overnight from Thursday to Friday, when nine matches were on the NHL championship schedule.
At the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, where San Jose lost to the Kraken (3-2), Timo Meier (25) scored his 21st goal of the 2021-2022 season for the Sharks. The right winger, who had hit the target five times once morest Los Angeles on Monday (6-2), revived hope in the California camp. He scored the 3-2 in the 50th minute on the power play.
A success that was not enough to reverse the course of the duel.
In 36 games, the Appenzeller has amassed 46 points.
Two assists for Josi
At Bridgestone Arena, where Nashville ended a four-game losing streak by taking the best of Winnipeg (5-2), Bernese defender Roman Josi (31) was credited with two assists. The Predators captain was implicated in a 2-0 to Finnish center Mikael Granlund in the 12th minute and a 3-0 to BC forward Ryan Johansen in the 18th minute.
In 40 starts, the No. 59 of the Preds has a record of 42 points, including 13 goals. A production that places him second in the North American professional league among backs, behind the Swede of Tampa Bay Victor Hedman (43), tied with the American of New York Rangers Adam Fox.
One point for Kukan
At the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, where Columbus won once morest the Flyers (1-2), Dean Kukan (28) contributed to the winning goal for the Blue Jackets. The Zurich defender was behind Finnish left winger Patrik Laine’s 0-2 in the 46th minute.
Long injured, the Swiss posted a statistic of two points, including a goal, in nine games.
