New York. Now they are close to the dream limit, Eric Carlson and Elias Peterson.
They set new marks in NHL numbers last night and both stand at 98 points – with four games left to play.
– We have to hope that things go, it will be good to have some success this season, “Ek65” tells Sportbladet.
They have no qualifiers to look forward to, the two biggest stars in Sweden’s national league. The Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks are both eliminated long ago and will soon go on summer break.
But instead, Erik Karlsson and Elias Pettersson are aiming to become the first Swedes to reach 100 points in twelve years – and after night’s practice it looks very promising.
The Canucks beat Chicago 3-0 and “EP” assisted one of the goals. Thus, it stands at 98 points. And that’s what Eric does, since he was responsible for both goals and assists when the Sharks lost 6-2 against Colorado.
“It’s still hard”
Now both men have four games left to play in the regular season, and it seems almost unbelievable that they would screw them up without scoring a couple of points…
– Well, I still think he can be tough, says “King Carl” when we reach him after the final whistle in Sharktank.
– But we have to hope it works. It’s boring to lose as much as it gets to lose so it would be really nice if we could have some success this season.
I scored the 23rd goal of the season last night. It is a record breaking for the Swedish slopes.
– Yes, that’s how it is? Who actually owns this record?
Oliver Ekman Larson.
– Yes Oliver? Did he make 23? Well, I should try to get over it, haha.
Mikko Rantanen also completed a hat trick with Colorado thus breaking the 50 barrier for the first time.
