New York – Czech hockey striker Ondrej Palat scored the first goal of Tampa Bay in the new season of the NHL and helped the defenders of the Stanley Cup to Wednesday’s victory over Chicago 5: 1. The Lightning players succeeded in the inaugural duel of the year for the seventh time in a row, holding the longest active series in the league.
Palát took over in the 11th minute, when after a shot by the Swedish defender Victor Hedman, he got the best orientation in the pre-goal area and cleverly pushed the puck behind the back of the goalkeeper Malcom Subban. Captain Steven Stamkos contributed to the Florida team’s victory with three Canadian points per goal and two assists. Lightning defender Jan Rutta and Chicago strikers Dominik Kubalík and David Kämpf did not score in the match.
