Timo Meier (26) has reached the symbolic plateau of 300 personal points collected in the regular season in the NHL championship. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, when his team lost 6-2 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver against the Canucks, the Appenzeller right winger scored both goals for San Jose and now has a record of 143 goals and 157 assists in 430 games played in the North American professional league.
In this losing cause, the No. 28 of the Sharks first lit the lamp on the power play in the 20th minute (2-1), a gesture synonymous with his 19th season success.
He then scored his 20th goal of the campaign in the 55th minute (5-2), at a time when the outcome of the duel left no doubt.
In 2022-2023, Timo Meier, whose contract with his Californian club will expire at the end of the year, maintains a production of one point per outing. In 36 starts, he has 20 goals and 16 assists.
Moser’s 4th goal
Another Swiss scored in this round during which eleven matches were scheduled. In the small Mullett Arena (4,600 spectators) of the Coyotes, Janis Moser (22) contributed to the victory of Arizona against Colorado, winner of the Stanley Cup in 2022 and affected by a string of injuries (6-3). The Bernese defender was credited with the winning goal in the 37th minute (4-2) after surprising Bulgarian goalkeeper Alexandar Georgiev with a wrist shot. The former HC Bienne has a statistic of 16 points (including four nets) in 33 appearances.
Massive blow for Nashville
The evening was more painful for the Helvetians of Nashville, beaten by Dallas in its Bridgestone Arena following a goal awarded to Finnish center player Roope Hintz 53 seconds from the horn.
Bernese Predators fullback Roman Josi (32) skated for 24’07” and finished the game with a differential of -2. His teammate, the Grisons right winger Nino Niederreiter (30), sweated for 14’18” (-1). As for St. Gallen striker from Los Angeles Kevin Fiala (26), he did not improve his stats in the Kings’ success against Las Vegas at the Crypto.com Arena (4-2). The left winger clocked 21’57”, served a minor penalty and scored a neutral differential.
