Designated “NHL’s best player of the week” on Monday, Roman Josi (31) honored his reward a few hours later at the Honda Center in Anaheim where Nashville won 3-6. The Bernese defender of the Predators added two notches to his impressive season record now rich with 77 points (18 goals and 59 assists) and 61 games. He first thwarted the vigilance of American goalkeeper John Gibson in the 17th minute to sign the 1-1.
He then contributed to the safety goal awarded to Ontario center Matt Duchene in the 52nd minute on the power play (3-5).
The captain of the Tennessee club thus scratched the scoreboard in a tenth consecutive duel. Since this streak started on March 2, he has accumulated 24 points.
6th top scorer in the league
The streak allowed him to cement his top spot among North American professional league fullbacks. He is ahead of Colorado Canadian Cale Makar (71) and NY Rangers American Adam Fox (62). He also ranks sixth in scoring, all positions combined, behind Edmonton Canadian Connor McDavid (91), Edmonton German Leon Draisaitl (87), Florida Quebecer Jonathan Huberdeau (86), American from Calgary Johnny Gaudreau (80) and Toronto American Auston Matthews (79).
Victory for Fiala
Another Swiss put on his skates at the end of a day that coincided with the close of trading. At the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Kevin Fiala (25) enjoyed a success with Minnesota against Las Vegas (3-0). The St. Gallen winger skated for 14’51 without registering for the score.
Fleury in Minnesota
No Swiss player has ever had an address during the last busy hours on the transfer market. The main moves? Quebec goalkeeper Marc-André Fleury moved from Chicago to Minnesota, Finnish winger Artturi Lehkonen left Montreal for Colorado, Canadian defender Brett Kulak was sent to Edmonton by Montreal while Canadian forward Max Domi (Columbus) ended up in Carolina.
Montreal – Boston 2-3 a.m.
