New York. After two periods between Buffalo and Los Angeles, the score was 0-0.
Then he just said bang.
The Sabers suddenly rolled on their visitors from long distances, shooting goal after goal and eventually winning 6-0.
– I have never seen such a tight match with such numbers, Swedish top scorer Viktor Olofsson told Sportbladet.
It has been the downfall of the NHL’s odd anomaly and the anomaly only continues.
The game between the Sabers and Los Angeles at Keybank Arena in Buffalo was completely even and scoreless for 40 minutes.
Then the home team exploded in the scoring.
– It was very strange. I’ve never seen such a tight 6-0 match, Viktor Olofsson says on the phone from his hometown.
– In the first half of the match, we didn’t really play anything else. They created more chances than us, it was Craig Anderson’s big play in the box that saved us at the time. But by the end of the second we picked things up a bit and by the third… well, there was a little bit of an ice-breaker.
Tage Thompson, who scored five goals in Columbus last week, cemented his newfound status as one of the top scorers in the NHL with two more goals.
He’s made incredibly big strides this season, it’s great to see him praise his teammate Olofsson.
– But in general we have a very powerful attack, all our formations are dangerous.

Yes, no less than the one in which Victor was involved. He scored the 13th goal of the season in the start of a massive push against the Kings last night – and also contributed an assist.
– Rasmus Asplund did a good job of catching the puck and found me in the box, where I was quite clean, he says.
– It’s very good that I got in, especially since the game was balanced, we were only leading 1-0 at that point. So this was very important.
Asplund was responsible for another assist in the match, as Dahlin’s name was noted for one.
