Kucherov and Stamkos led the demolition of Anaheim
In the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Anaheim Ducks (5:1), the most productive player in the league , Nikita Kucherov, contributed to the victory of the favored Tampa Bay team. He dished out a total of 3 assists and became the first player this season to break the 70-point mark. He is currently on 72 points for 28 goals scored and 44 assists.
Kucherov continues to hold a three-point lead over the second man in scoring, Nathan MacKinnon of Colorado. Captain Steven Stamkos was another key contributor to the Ducks’ demolition , scoring two goals and adding an assist.
Unfortunately, it was Czech goalie Lukáš Dostál, playing for Anaheim. He had 36 saves in the game, but he had to fish the puck out of his net five times. In addition, Stamkos scored his 204th power play goal, tying Wayne Gretzky for 17th place on the all-time scoring charts.
Ingram on Wild ice once again bulletproof
In the Minnesota Wild vs. Arizona Coyotes (0:6), Coyotes goalie Connor Ingram recorded his fifth clean sheet of the season. He is the best goalie in the NHL in this respect, and he only had to play 26 games. And he is clearly the biggest driver for Arizona to make the playoffs.
Minnesota just prolonged the misery of the last few games, and they took a debacle on their ice. Another hero was the Coyotes’ experienced forward Nick Bjukstad, who scored a hat trick in the game.
Ingram achieved the second fastest goalie in Coyotes/Jets club history, managing to keep 5 clean sheets. The record is held by Brian Boucher from the 20003/04 season, who only needed 13 games to accomplish the same feat.
Pastrnak recorded two assists
In the St. Louis Blues vs. Boston Bruins game (3:4) after overtime, David Pastrňák, the Czech Republic’s most productive player, had two assists and improved his point total to 59 points, thus consolidating his third place in the league scoring.
However, St. Louis did not give up, tying the game three times, so Boston went through another overtime, where in the last games they always fell. However, in today’s game Charlie McAvoy scored the winning goal and the Bruins captain contributed to the victory with two goals.
