Roman Josi and the Predators will play in the play-offs. The captain of Nashville and his franchise clinched the necessary point Tuesday when Calgary received a 5-4 ap loss to secure their place in the Western Conference playoffs.
The Swiss international (25’13 of playing time, record of -1) was able to console himself for the frustrating scenario of the meeting – the Preds led to the score three times before conceding the 4-4 at 0”1 the end of regulation time – thanks to his 22nd goal and 71st assist of the exercise. Note that it was, for the Bernese, his 400th assist in the regular season.
Roman Josi is not the only Swiss to shine on the NHL rinks on Tuesday. Nino Niederreiter (15’58, 0) delivered an assist – his 20th in the championship – during the Carolina Hurricanes’ victory (3-4) on the ice of the New York Rangers.
If he did not necessarily shine from an individual point of view, Janis Moser (21’34, -1) was able to raise his arms with Arizona. The rear trained in Biel and the Coyotes went to win (3-5) in Minnesota, where Kevin Fiala remained silent (20’48, -2).
The other Swiss representatives engaged on Tuesday in the NHL rinks have all experienced defeat. Dean Kukan (16’44, -2) and the Columbus Blue Jackets lost in Tampa Bay to the Lightning (4-1), Timo Meier (19’14, -2) and the San Jose Sharks fell at home in front the Anaheim Ducks (2-5), while Pius Suter (19’47, -1) and the Detroit Red Wings lost in Toronto against the Leafs (3-0).
Note also that Nico Hischier, ill, and Jonas Siegenthaler, injured, did not take part in the loss of the New Jersey Devils in Ottawa against the Senators (5-4 ap).
