Nečas, Hronek Lead Czech NHL Stars in Weekend Action
A surge of notable performances from Czech players highlighted the latest NHL action, with Martin Nečas cementing his position among the league’s elite goal scorers and filip Hronek orchestrating a stunning comeback victory for Vancouver.
Colorado avalanche forward Nečas scored into an empty net, securing a 4-1 win against the NY Islanders and bringing his season goal total to 13.This places him second in the NHL scoring race, trailing only his teammate Nathan MacKinnon. Nečas now shares the second position with Leon Draisaitl and Cole Caufield.
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Hronek was instrumental in his team’s 6-2 road victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. He registered two assists, including a key setup on Mackenzie MacEachern’s goal – the Canadian’s first NHL score since February 2021. “Hronek’s vision and playmaking ability where on full display,” one analyst noted. The Canucks, playing without Czech center David Fight, who recently signed a contract through the end of the season, snapped a three-game losing streak.
The Lightning struggled to recover after Vancouver’s explosive third period, where they scored five goals to overturn a 1-2 deficit in just 100 seconds. At minute 45:51,Hronek’s involvement in the play leading to Drew O’Connor’s goal to make it 4-2 proved pivotal. hronek, a native of Hradec Králové, is now among the top twenty defenders in the league with 11 assists, returning to point-scoring form after a two-game hiatus.
Despite a 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild, Vegas golden Knights forward tomáš Hertl extended his points streak to four consecutive games, providing an assist on a power-play goal. Hertl currently has 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) and ranks as the fourth-most productive Czech player in the NHL. He trails only Nečas,and another Czech player,who has accumulated ten more points then Hertl this season. That player secured his 25th point of the season with an empty-net goal against the NY islanders, contributing to Colorado’s sixth consecutive victory.
