New York. Victor Arvidsson fired sharply last night.
He scored two goals as the Los Angeles Kings began one of the longest road trips of the season with a 5-2 victory over Ottawa.
– It was the first time this year I scored two goals in one match, so it felt very nice, says the 29-year-old sniper from Kosmark to Sportbladet.
The Los Angeles Kings will be popping up in the northeastern parts of the continent for about two weeks and at times like these, everyone wants to set the tone right away.
And that’s also exactly what they did against the Senators at the Canadian Tire Center.
They led 4-1 at halftime and unlike many others in this odd season they managed to finish the remainder of the game and eventually won 5-2.
– Yes, it was exactly the start we wanted, I think everyone in the team feels good, says Viktor Arvidsson when we spoke to him just over an hour after the final whistle.
– But we also played a good game, played quickly and made the right decisions.
At least “Arvy” himself made the right decision when he picked up the gun and fired the puck twice in the space of just over three minutes in the middle of the first period.
– It was the first time this year that I scored two goals in the same match, so it felt very nice, he continues.
However, “Hackspetten från Kusmark” has been producing points continuously since the start of the regular season and is satisfied with the season.
– Yes, I felt strong all the time, although I couldn’t train all summer, he notes.
The Kings now continue to play in Toronto, Montreal, Columbus, Buffalo and Boston two days before Lucia returns home to Southern California once again.
