Filip Forsberg’s double goal was scored in the NHL’s tight three-point sweep.
Here are the highlights from tonight’s North American hockey game.
Same night
The Edmonton Oilers entered the matchup against the Seattle Kraken with four straight losses in the bag.
Then Zach Hyman opened the way by scoring a hat-trick in the first half.
– Today was a good day to get back to the win list and just breathe, says the triple top scorer according to TSN.
The 4-1 win was Edmonton’s second win of the season.
After the match, coach Jay Woodcroft was completely satisfied with his hero.
– He was determined to ensure we got the lead in that first period. “I respect Zach Hyman and the game he plays every night,” Woodcroft said.
But he wasn’t the only one to score a hat-trick during NHL night.
Double-hat tricks of the night
They stood saint. Lewis Blues duo Brayden Schenn and Pavel Buchnevich.
“Our offense has really changed and is starting to work,” Shane says according to TSN.
During the night it actually worked. The top-seeded team crushed the Colorado Avalanche away from home.
The Blues escaped with a four-goal lead before the Avalanche got their first puck. Then the same scoring pattern was repeated and the game ended 8-2.
– Overall, I think it was a good team effort, says coach Craig Berube.
“Shouldn’t Have a Hat” Night
Nashville Predators Filip Forsberg has started the NHL season on a high note.
In last night’s game against the Arizona Coyotes, he scored two goals and was credited with an assist.
But that was not enough to achieve victory.
After the Swede scored his second goal of the evening – and equalized at 5-5 with six minutes to go – it was the visitors who were able to get going again.
In the last minutes, Nick Durzi scored the goal to put the visitors ahead. Nick Bjugstad then scored the game into an empty net.
On a personal note, Filip Forsberg is improving his good scoring average this season, as he has now scored 17 points in 14 games. Thus, there are only two teams left in the top ten in the points league.
