For the first time this season, all 32 teams were in action on the same night. The game with four Swiss players scored the most goals.
In the Tampa Bay Lightning's spectacular 8-5 win over the New Jersey Devils, Janis Moser scored three goals for the second time this season for the victorious visitors. The defenseman from Bern scored the 8:4 in the final period in a curious way while shorthanded. His clearing shot from his own zone was deflected off the boards and surprised Devils goalie Jake Allen, who went behind his own net to stop the puck.
Timo Meier even scored twice for the home team. For the Devils, for whom Nico Hischier and Jonas Siegenthaler remained without scoring points, it was their fourth defeat in the ninth game of the season. They had never allowed more than seven goals in a home game since November 1992 and the 8-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Moser has four wins from six games with Tampa Bay.
Niederreiter's Jets continue to win
The only team still unbeaten are the Winnipeg Jets with Nino Niederreiter. The Grisons forward scored a deflection to tie the game at 1-1 in the 3-2 win in St. Louis shortly before halftime on the power play. It was Niederreiter's second goal of the season and Winnipeg's sixth win.
Pius Suter celebrated his goal scoring debut this season. In the Vancouver Canucks' third win in a row, the Zurich forward scored his team's final goal in a 6-3 win in Chicago. The Swiss duel with Philipp Kurashev did not take place because the latter was left out after being scolded by Chicago coach Luke Richardson for poor tackling.
First win of the season for Josi
Roman Josi and Nashville scored a liberating goal. After the weakest start to a season in the club's history, the Bernese captain finally celebrated his first win in six games with the highly rated Predators. In the 4-0 win at home against the Boston Bruins, defenseman Josi recorded an assist on the first and third goals. All teams have now scored at least once.
