New York. Last night, it was dismantled for John Klingberg – and therefore also for the Anaheim Ducks.
He scored two goals and led the team to a much needed 5-2 victory against the Canadiens at the Bell Center.
It’s good that we got a little reward individually and it’s nice that we won as a team. It was a very difficult start to the season, says the star back for Sportbladet.
Yes, Anaheim is one of the teams that faced the strongest headwinds during the fall and will celebrate Christmas at the bottom of the overall table.
But as was evident in Montreal last night, the Ducks can still play winning road hockey.
They were a bit of a snob when the Habs took a 2-0 advantage they had in the first period early in the third period, but then the team showed real character; He fought back and eventually won 5-2.
– I think we played maturely as a team today. That was the difference, says John Klingberg when we got to him next.
– You can’t play perfectly for 60 minutes, but we managed to control different situations in the match.
“Burger”, who came to the flock of ducks from Dallas last summer, was the king of the ice and scored two goals for the first time for his new club. And they were important. First, he made it 2-0 with a distinctive and well-aimed shot at the start – and then dusted the goal with the third goal with which the guests regained the lead.
– Like I said before, it’s good that we got a little reward individually and it was also good that we won as a team. It was a very tough start to the season, if I may say so.
Jacob Silverberg has been noted for his part to help out.
