Slovak hockey player Juraj Slafkovský continues his historic season, and in last night's NHL game he led the Montreal Canadiens to a 2:1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The twenty-two-year-old forward decided the game with his thirtieth goal of the season just 64 seconds before the end of the third period, and also recorded an assist on a goal by teammate Cole Caufield, bringing him to his seventieth point of the season. Slafkovský thus achieved two exceptional milestones in a single game and became the hero against his compatriot Erik Černák, who plays for the Lightning. ta3.com ↗
Slafkovský has become a star for Montreal, who continue their unstoppable winning streak. The current season is the best of his career, having collected 71 points in 79 games. With his thirtieth goal, Slafkovský reached a historic milestone similar to that of legend Miroslav Šatan. Although Montreal captain Nick Suzuki predicted before the game that Slafkovský would sooner reach fifty points than thirty goals, the forward surprised everyone with his productivity. At the end of the game he did not even know he had scored, since it was a fast play in the closing moments of the match. sport.pravda.sk ↗
In further Slovak NHL action, Slafkovský continues his run of assists. In Montreal's game against Columbus, he assisted on Cole Caufield's goal to make it 2:4, even though his team was trailing 2:5, and Slafkovský recorded two minus points. In the same round he also became the target of a cowardly attack, when two players held him while a third hit him from behind, but the forward was not intimidated at all and continues his physically and mentally demanding pace. Erik Černák, meanwhile, played the milestone game of his career. hnonline.sk ↗
In parallel developments in other NHL games, Dalibor Dvorský scored significantly. The talented Slovak forward of the St. Louis Blues recorded his 12th goal of the season against Chicago, as the Blues triumphed 5:3 with an uncompromising first-period blast. Dvorský gave the goalkeeper no chance with his precise finish. Tampa Bay, with Erik Černák, meanwhile turned the game around on the ice in Boston, where Boston was struggling in the fight to secure a playoff spot. sport.sk ↗
Under Slafkovský's leadership, Montreal has transformed into an NHL force, and the players continue their excellent form ahead of the start of the playoffs. Slafkovský has become a symbol of the Canadiens' successful transformation, even though the club could have sent him to the AHL in the past, which it ultimately did not do, betting on him instead. Slafkovský is living up to Montreal's expectations and is currently one of the stars of the entire league. According to NHL legends, the Slovak talent has been the center of attention, with experts noting that he has everything it takes to become a great player — now he just needs to learn the one thing that hockey itself cannot give him. ta3.com ↗
