Austrian hockey duel: Kasper meets Rossi in NHL!

The Washington Capitals, who had to give up 4: 5 after penalty shooting in an exciting duel last Sunday, failed to catch up at the top of the National Hockey League. According to Krone , the capital gave the opportunity to strengthen their position before the league entered a two-week break for the Four-Nationing tournament with Canada, the USA, Sweden and Finland. The tournament takes place in Montreal and Boston and the NHL will not be resumed until February 22nd.

A special highlight after the break will be the meeting of the two Austrian players Marco Kasper from Detroit Red Wings and Marco Rossi from the Minnesota wild. This is the first time since February 17, 2019 that two Austrian players meet in an NHL game, such as Inside the rink . This highly expected game takes place in Detroit and could be another career step for both players who have recently drawn attention to themselves.

Current form of teams

Currently the capital has a record of 24-9-2, while the Red Wings are 13-18-4. In the last ten games, the Capitals have won seven out of ten and have developed a strong position. Conversely, the Red Wings have lost their last game and fight with a series of defeats of four games, as the Inside the rink . This low form could reduce the chances of the Red Wings in the upcoming meeting.
