The Dallas Stars defenseman opened the scoring in the fourth minute of the 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The man from Solothurn scored with a wrist shot from the blue line - his fifth goal in 75 NHL games.
Akira Schmid also had reason to be happy on this game day. The goalie from Emmental in the service of the Vegas Golden Knights impressed with a 95.7 percent save percentage. He saved 22 shots in the 4:1 win over the St. Louis Blues, including two from Pius Suter. After four previous defeats, the Vegas Golden Knights won again for the first time thanks to Schmid.
The New Jersey Devils with the Swiss trio of Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on the road after a penalty shootout. No Swiss player took part in the short-handed decision. The Devils remain leaders of the Eastern Conference.
Kevin Fiala, who has scored in three games in a row recently, will have to wait a little longer to score his tenth goal of the season. However, he won his fourth game in a row with the Los Angeles Kings, 1-0 away from home against the Ottawa Senators.
Nino Niederreiter with the Winnipeg Jets (4:3 n.p. against the Calgary Flames) and Janis Moser with the Tampa Bay Lightning (3:1 over the Florida Panthers) also left the ice as winners. Philipp Kurashev, who has now gone seven games without a goal, lost 1:4 with the San Jose Sharks against the Seattle Kraken.
