Kevin Fiala has made a winning return to St-Paul! The St-Gallois opened his counter in the most beautiful way in his new Los Angeles colors.
Against Minnesota, the team for which he had scored 79 goals in 215 games, Fiala scored a goal and provided 2 assists in a match won… 7-6 by the Kings. Beaten 7-3 by Rangers on Thursday night, the Wild conceded 14 goals in their first two games of the season.
Fiala scored 5-3 in power play in the 30th minute. He had previously been involved in Adrian Kempe’s opener in the 5th and Drew Doughty’s 3-0 in the 12th. He formed with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe a strong first line to offer the Kings a first success this season.
Top Swiss scorer in NHL history, Nino Niedereiter reached a symbolic plateau on Saturday night in Dallas. Grison scored his 200th NHL goal in Nashville’s 5-1 loss to the Stars.
Niederreiter, 30, scored his first NHL goal on October 13, 2010 for the New York Islanders in a 2-1 loss to Washington.
