Nico Hischier found the net on Wednesday in the NHL. The goal of the Valaisan was however not enough for the happiness of the Devils, beaten 3-1 by the Boston Bruins.
The New Jersey captain, who hadn’t scored in his previous six games, made it 1-1 in the 47th minute by redirecting a pass from Fabian Zetterlund. He now has 32 points, including 14 goals, in 34 games played this season. His teammate Jonas Siegenthaler remained ‘mute’.
Beaten for the eighth time in their last nine games, the Devils paid dearly for a few rare defensive errors as they dominated the proceedings against the best team in the League. Boston forced the decision in the 56th on a success of the former freelancer from Lugano Bergeron.
Note also the superb ‘remontada’ of Pius Suter’s Red Wings. Led 4-0 by the Penguins of Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh after the first period, Detroit won 5-4 after extra time thanks to a success of defender Jake Walman after 2’13” in ‘overtime’.
