In the Swiss duel between Janis Moser and Denis Malgin, the favored guests from Denver prevailed 4:3 following a penalty shoot-out. But before that, the team also gambled away a 2-0 lead. “We eased up in the third period and conceded a goal – then it started,” explains Denis Malgin in the Nau interview.
“Luckily we were able to win following a penalty shootout,” said Malgin with relief. But that’s no walk in the park either: The shootout lasted 14 players, thirteen shooters failed, including Malgin.
Despite this, Colorado prevails once morest Arizona and celebrates its eighth win in the last nine games. Denis Malgin’s team is now even the leader of the Central Division in the NHL following losing points. “We’re trying to chase the teams in front of us,” Malgin continued.

And also had the stick in play in the 7:5 lead in the power play. He now has 70 scorer points (22 goals/48 assists) and has caught up with Hischier.
