The New Jersey Devils are assured of a playoff appearance, their first in five years. Now it is up to the team to create a good starting position for the decisive phase of the season.
The Devils are now just a point behind second-placed Carolina Hurricanes thanks to a 2-1 win over Rangers. And in both goals against Rangers, Swiss players had their sticks in play.
Jonas Siegenthaler helped prepare the 1-0 through Erik Haula after five minutes. At 2-0 in the final phase of the first third, Hischier initiated Timo Meier’s power play hit.
The submission lifted the Valaisan to a total of 71 scorer points (30 goals / 41 assists). This currently makes him the most successful Swiss points scorer, while Meier has consolidated his position as the most successful goalscorer with his 36th goal of the season.
Kevin Fiala, a point behind Hischier in the scoring charts, was absent in the Los Angeles Kings’ 2-0 loss to Edmonton. Just like Roman Josi in Nashville’s 0:2 against Pittsburgh. Connor McDavid scored his 300th goal in the NHL for the Oilers.
However, Pius Suter was in action in the Detroit Red Wings’ 3-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes. And Tim Berni in the Columbus Blue Jackets’ 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Boston secured qualifying victory seven games before the end of the regular season. Both Swiss remained without a scorer point.
