The New Jersey Devils with Nico Hischier, Timo Meier and Jonas Siegenthaler lost 3:5 against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game started well from a Swiss perspective, with a goal from Nico Hischier, who put the Devils 1:0 up early on. After a second early goal by the Devils, however, the team was unable to score for a long time. The Jackets made it 4-2 before Timo Meier reduced the deficit again with Hischier as one of the assists. But the Devils were no longer able to avert defeat, instead the Blue Jackets scored a fifth and final goal.

Nino Niederreiter also conceded five goals with the Winnipeg Jets. The 33-year-old's team only scored once against the Buffalo Sabres, ending the game with a clear 5-1 defeat.
