And two that make 39! Kevin Fiala offered two goals in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, and thus increased his personal tally to 10 goals and 29 assists in 41 games this season. He served Rasmus Kupari (8th) and Adrian Kempe (50th) as the Californians won for the seventh time in the last nine games.
The Swiss striker, who was awarded the first star of this match, has already convinced in LA, where he signed for seven years and 55 million dollars last summer. His movement on the success that offered the two points to the Kings is simply exceptional!
In Nashville, Nino Niederreiter and Roman Josi hurt the Montreal Canadiens who were already in bad shape. The Grison, third star of the game, offered three assists to his teammates. The Bernese, he scored his ninth goal of the year in the 48th and offered his 21st assist of the season on Matt Duchene’s goal in the 45th. It was already 3-0 for the Tennesseans after just eleven minutes…
Philipp Kurashev did not experience the same glory as his compatriots. His Chicago Blackhawks were crushed at home by the Tampa Bay Lightning (1-4) and the Bernese with Russian ancestry had a lot to do with it: he finished the game with a differential of -3, in just over 17 minutes spent on the rink.
Tim Berni (20’50 and -1) and the Columbus Blue Jackets suffered the same fate on the ice of the Ottawa Senators (4-0). It wasn’t much better for Janis Jérôme Moser (18’34 and 0) and his Arizona Coyotes on the road to Calgary (5-3). The “Marvel of Safnern” still found time to deliver an assist.
