Leo Karlsson scored his first goal for the Anaheim Ducks.

A beautiful ending where he challenged himself.

In total, the 18-year-old tallied three points in three games at the junior tournament in Las Vegas.

The Anaheim Ducks defeated the Los Angeles Kings, 4-2, in the Nevada Junior Championship.

Leo Carlsson played as a midfielder in Group A and scored in all three matches.

The 2-1 goal midway through the second half of the final match was celebrated on social media.

The Swedish superstar shot the puck into the box, swung it along the rim, cut inside and finished from a tight angle.

The number 37 shirt showed great skating and hunting qualities.

-It must be a nice bus ride home. There are many who performed well in the camp, says club expert Emerson Etim.

Back home to the coast

Earlier in the tournament, the Anaheim Ducks beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4–2 and lost to the Colorado Avalanche 5–3.

He now awaits the pre-season base camp and eight real training matches.

The first will be at home against the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night, California time.

Leo Carlsson, who belongs to Örebro in Europe, finished second overall this summer and will try out for the team.

The three-year entry-level contract will have a maximum salary of $950,000.

In their NHL premiere, the Anaheim Ducks play away to the Vegas Golden Knights on October 14.
