Jackpot for Philipp Kurashev!
The Bernese forward scored the winning goal in overtime on Friday in Las Vegas, allowing Chicago to hand the Golden Knights their first defeat of the season in the NHL (4-3).
Deprived of his team’s first six matches due to a wrist injury, Philipp Kurashev scored his first goal in only his second appearance of the season. And at the best of times: after 2’50” in overtime, on a power play.
The Bern native recovered a poorly cleared puck by the Golden Knights’ defense before beating a masked Adin Hill with a wrist shot. He thus enabled Chicago to secure its third victory in eight matches and to deny Vegas, the only remaining undefeated team, an eighth win in eight outings.
The evening was more difficult for Coyotes defenseman from Seeland, Janis Moser, despite scoring his first two points of the season (1 goal, 1 assist). Arizona was defeated 5-4 by Kevin Fiala’s L.A. Kings (1 assist on Friday), after leading 4-1 just 8’55” into the game!
Hischier in trouble
Nico Hischier, on the other hand, suffered, even though the Devils defeated Buffalo 5-4 with an assist from Timo Meier. The captain of New Jersey was the victim of a nasty headshot that resulted in a match penalty for the offender after 16’00”. He was able to play in the second period but did not return to the ice in the third. “As a precaution,” according to his coach Lindy Ruff.
