Nino Niederreiter will not forget his evening of Monday, March 6, 2023: it was that of his 200th goal in the regular season, the first also under his new Winnipeg colors.
Despite Grison’s success, an unstoppable wrist shot, the Jets lost 3-2 on their ice against San Jose. They conceded the equalizer 11” from the siren before yielding on a success by former Servettian freelancer Logan Couture after 1’21” of play in extra time. Winnipeg has, thus, conceded its eighth defeat in its last ten games to have only 6 points ahead of the bar.
First Swiss player to reach this threshold of 200 goals in the regular season – he also has 15 in the play-off -, Nino Niederreiter scored his 19th goal of this season which he started in the ranks of Nashville. Against San Jose, he was also rewarded with the first star.
This first Monday in March also smiled on Philipp Kurashev. The Bernese opened the scoring in Chicago’s 5-0 victory against Ottawa for his ninth success of the season. The Blackhawks were able to recover from four straight losses.
The evening was also beautiful for Kevin Fiala, author of a 45th assist for his 67th point, during the 4-2 success of Los Angeles against Washington. The best Swiss scorer in the NHL and the Kings picked up a fourth success in a row.
