EDMONTON. The hockey players of Montreal, with the Slovakian forward Juraj Slafkovská, lost 5:6 in the night game of the NHL on the ice of Edmonton.
The goal-rich encounter found its resolution only at the very end. The Canadiens were still leading by two goals in the middle of the third period, but the Oilers were able to use two power plays to tie the score.
Montreal was particularly angered by the controversial expulsion of Josh Anderson, who served a two-minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Allegedly for insulting the referee.
“I’m still trying to understand it. The referees took control of the game. Hats off to them,” said two-goal scorer Cole Caufield after the match.
About a minute before the end, Vasili Podkolzin scored the winning goal of the match.
Slafkovský did not score in the meeting. He spent 18:47 minutes on the ice. and scored a plus point, one shot and three blocked shots.
Despite the fact that the Slovak attacker did not enter the list of scorers, according to overseas experts, he played a very good duel.
At the beginning of the third period, he was suspended for two minutes for a collision Tya Embersonawhich according to many was very strict.

Montreal forward Brendan Gallagher later said the referees admitted to making a mistake in judging Slafkovski’s tackle.
“We could have managed our emotions better, we’ll talk about that later… But on the other hand, the Oilers have some top players, they don’t need that kind of help,” he added Gallagher.
Defender Erik Černák was not happy about the victory either, as Tampa Bay lost to Chicago 2:3 at home.
The Lightning recorded their fourth straight loss and close the Eastern Conference with four points.
Černak started in the second defensive pair and recorded one shot on goal, one plus point and one “hit.”
