Tampa Bay and Edmonton met in NHL hockey in Tampa’s home arena. In the second set, we saw an unpleasant situation.
Edmonton Oilers winger Evander Kane was horribly injured after a struggle. Kane fell to the ice in a puck pursuit situation, after which Tampan Patrick Maroon the skate sliced Kane’s wrist open.
Kane, who was on the bench holding his wrist, was soon rushed to the hospital. The man’s condition is now said to be stable and he will be operated on.
Edmonton eventually won the match 3–2.
– It was a really good performance as a team. We thought about ‘Kaner’s’ injury, we wanted to get the win for him and everyone did exactly what we had to, the Edmonton goaltender Jack Campbell comment after the match.
Maccelli scored the winning goal already in the opening round
Finnish striker Matias Maccelli scored his second goal of his NHL hockey career and his first goal of the season, when the Arizona Coyotes represented by the man beat the Buffalo Sabers 4–1 in the away arena.
Maccelli scored Arizona’s first hit and a moment later with superiority, Maccelli scored Arizona’s 2–1 winning goal. His pass bounced into the goal off the skate of a Buffalo player. Juuso Välimäki was marked as a passer in the goal.
Maccelli, who is playing in his second season in the NHL, has collected 1+8 performances this season. He scored his previous goal last March in the second game of his NHL career.
Despite the win, Arizona remains at the bottom of the Western Conference.
Winnipeg Jets also managed to score from the Finns Saku Mäenalanen, who opened his scoring record of the season against the Dallas Stars. Mäenalanen directed Neal Pion too shot on goal late in the second period to give Winnipeg a 4–1 lead. The home team Jets eventually won 5–1.
