New York. Rising Swedish star Leo Carlsson is unstoppable.
He scored another goal as the hot Anaheim Ducks beat Arizona at home at Honda Center last night.
“Troy Terry shot and hit me on the stick and I went into the ceiling,” the 18-year-old told Hockeynews.se after the 4-3 win.
He’s already had a roaring start to his NHL career, the blue-and-yellow’s second draft pick from last summer.
Already in his debut a few weeks ago, he scored his first goal and since then he has continued in the same style – with a complete kick and a crucial assist in the thrilling turnaround against the Bruins in Boston last week as an early goal. climax.
And tonight it was the right time again, at home against Arizona who, like the Anaheim Ducks, have surprised very favorably through the first weeks of the regular season.
The visitors took a 3-2 lead when, four minutes into the third period, the 18-year-old advanced in front of the penalty area and headed home a shot from Troy Terry.
Thus, the third goal in six matches became a reality.
– I don’t remember what happened before but I got a sloppy backhand shot by Terry. “I couldn’t see when he shot, but he hit me with the stick and I hit the ceiling,” he told Hockeynews.se in the locker room afterwards.
The score remained tied after the period ended – and in extra time, Troy Terry decided his own, with which he completed a de facto hat-trick.
– It was worth hanging some capsules there today, we created a lot of chances, says his teammate Carlson.

Philadelphia won the shootout against Buffalo at home at the Wells Fargo Center 40-15 – but what’s the point?
They allowed just two hits on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, while the Sabers scored five on Carter Hart and, when Hart stepped down with injury, Samuel Ersson.
– It’s frustrating. If you shoot 40, you should score more than two goals, sighs defender Travis Sanheim.
Rasmus Dahlin, for once, did not produce any points at all, so his good streak was broken after eight games.
The Calgary Flames are not out of their early slump.
At home against Dallas last night, they had a slight 2-1 lead in the second half, but in the end were beaten 4-3 and thus lost six games in a row.
-You just have to try to move forward. “If you get frustrated and dig in, this league will eat you up and spit you out,” Mackenzie Weegar said.
Elias Lindholm had two assists for the Flames and Nils Lundqvist one for the Stars.
After some less than inspiring efforts in the end, the Colorado Stars once again showed where the locker should be in tonight’s home game against St. Louis. Louis.
They won 4-1 and the trio of Mikko Rantanen, Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar earned a total of six points.
