New York. Axel Jonsson-Fjällby became a hero in Winnipeg last night.
He settled for a powerful shot — and also got an assist — as the Jets downed Vancouver.
– I changed the tape before this match, maybe that’s why this shot was so good, the 24-year-old from Stockholm smiles after winning 7-4.
The score at the swing event at Canada Life Center was 4-4 when Axel Jonsson-Fjällby — who came after two seasons in the Washington Capitals organization to Winnipeg last fall — got a puck inside the offensive blue line. A few pieces in the area and swept in a thunderous drag shot, between the legs of Vancouver defender Luke Chien and up to the far post.
– No, I also knew I had that shot in the toolbox, says Axel with a smile when he takes questions from the local media after the final whistle.
– But I changed the tape before this match, and wrapped the blade with white tape. Maybe that’s why it turned out so well.
Shortly after the third goal, the former zookeeper was also responsible for leading to a goal at a numerical disadvantage, scored by Dylan Demelo.
– the whole bench stood up and shouted that Dylan was behind on this counterattack, so the bench must be an assistant, he says.
In the end, the Jets won 7-4 – snapping a five-game winning streak – and snapper Kyle Connor completed the hat-trick.
– It’s very interesting to see the series with him, say Pierre-Luc Dubius and Nikolai Eilers.
Kevin Stenlund is also noted for helping out – just like Canucks blue-and-yellow star Elias Peterson.
Nils Lundqvist also loaded the gun and scored last night.
Midway through the second half in Dallas’ home game against Florida, Wyatt Johnson posted his perfect sandwich – and the 22-year-old defender from Betio scored his fourth goal of the season with an unstoppable direct shot from the left. circle.
– Nils has a great shot and it was good to see him get paid. Coach Pete Debor said that he needed to shoot more than once and hit the penalty area, and it should not be beautiful, after what ended with the victory of the Stars 5-1.
Even though they also played last night, against Detroit, the Toronto Maple Leafs had no problems against the Flyers in Philadelphia last night. They won 6-2 – Calle Järnkrok was again excellent, scoring a goal and two assists.
I play with John Tavares and Mitch Marner. Then he told the media afterward, It’s not that hard.
Timothy Lillgren also scored a goal and Pontus Holmberg played up to one goal.
The Calgary Flames can’t afford to lose to the weaker teams in the league, but that’s exactly what happened in Chicago last night. After going 3-3 at full time, Maxi Dumy decided to transfer to the home team in overtime.
– We need to play better in general, Elias Lindholm sighs, who can console himself with a goal and an assist.
Rasmus Andersson also had an assist, while Jakob Markström was substituted after conceding three goals.
St. Lewis jumped out with a 3-0 win over Minnesota, while Pittsburgh beat Arizona another 4-1 according to the program.
