Boston lost the game in Tampa with five seconds left in regulation. Although the Bruins defended a two-minute power play by the home team six against four, the pressure of the Lightning did not stop after John Beecher returned to the ice and Steven Stamkos arranged overtime after Nikita Kučerov’s assist. In it, the extra point for Tampa Bay was decided by Brandon Hagel.
The Canadian striker made use of a smart substitution and after Victor Hedman’s assist, he finished off his own escape with clarity. “We practiced it. It is not entirely easy because it requires the cooperation of all players on the ice. That’s why I’m glad that it came out today,” said Hagel.
Even before the exciting end, the Czech hockey players entered the statistics of the match. In the 10th minute, Pastrňák appeared alone in front of the goalkeeper, but instead of finishing, he invited Pavel Zacha to score, and the Czech center easily tied the score at 1:1.
Pastrňák appeared as the scorer in the 47th minute. He got a lot of space in the middle of the pitch and swung it past goalkeeper Jonas Johansson. The Bruins gunner started a crazy two-minute period with his twelfth goal of the season. Moments after his shot, Beecher gave Boston a 3-2 lead, and Austin Watson equalized 57 seconds later.
Pastrňák hit his seventh straight game and scored 15 points during his streak. He has 29 total and is second in league productivity. Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes leads the way with 30 points.
James van Riemsdyk brought the Bruins closer to victory in the 57th minute, but Tampa Bay turned the game around and won for the third time in a row. “I like that everyone on the bench believes that we can win in any situation. We weren’t far from it today either, but we didn’t quite manage the ending. We have to learn how to finish the final seconds. Conceding five seconds before the third siren is bad,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said.
Vancouver decided the game against San Jose in the second period when they jumped out to a two-goal lead. At 33:07, league productivity leader Hughes broke the wait for a goal and made it 2-0 in a weakened second before Sam Lafferty’s second siren.
After a break in the continued power play, the Sharks also struck. Tomáš Hertl found a blocked shot in front of the goal and promptly shot past goalkeeper Thatcher Demek. The Czech center scored his fourth goal of the season and is San Jose’s most productive player with 12 points.
JT Miller returned the two-goal lead to Vancouver. The American forward poked the puck past Mackenzie Blackwood twice. The Canadian team kept the lead and even without the point contribution of the Czech defender Filip Hronek confirmed the position of the second best team in the Western Conference. San Jose has lost its fifteenth of 18 games and remains the worst team in the league.
Vladař started in goal for Calgary for the fifth time this season and led the team to a win for the third time. The Flames hockey players led twice on the ice of Seattle, but in the end they fought for victory in the end. Andrew Mangiapane equalized at 3:3 at 55:53, and Rasmus Andersson scored the 4:3 win in overtime for the Canadian team.
Dallas lost to the NY Rangers 0:2 on home ice, but in the third period broke the game with five goals in a row and came away with an unequivocal victory. The Stars’ win was led by first-team center Roope Hintz, who had a goal and two assists. Joe Pavelski, Mason Marchment and Tyler Seguin contributed to the victory with a goal and an assist. Radek Faksa did not score in 11 and a half minutes on the ice.
