When separate, they most certainly do!

You do realize, of course, that the boiling and freezing points of
solutions/mixtures is often rather different than the individual
substances.  The triple point certainly would, as well.

1) What is the freezing point of water (H2O)?
2) What is the freezing point of salt (NaCl)?
3) Why the heck do they put salt on roads during winter weather?
