Los Angeles. Elias Peterson – International Artist.
With five points and a crucial penalty, he made sure of defeating Seattle at home at Rogers Arena last night.
– Of course it feels great to contribute so much, says the 24-year-old midfielder after the 6-5 win.
He’s been responsible for several great efforts over his five-year NHL career, Elias of Onji – but none as dominant as that against Seattle last night.
Elias scored two goals, including a 5-5 tie in the final minutes, and played up to three. Then he scored the penalty kick that decided the whole event.
And then, the young man was just sick and had his first match in a week.
– I don’t think everyone understands what a deflection is, not being on the ice for six days and then coming in and playing a game like that, Coach Bruce Boudreau impressed him after that.
– It was an incredible effort.
“higher feeling”
“EP” is also satisfied with itself.
– I got a lot better yesterday and after my morning warm-up today I thought I felt ready and yeah, of course it feels great to be contributing so much, he says when he meets the media afterwards.
At the same time, he wants to share the honor with colleagues on the series Lynn Pedersen and Andrey Kuzmenko.
– It was my first time playing Pederson, but it’s easy to play guys who have ‘skills’ and he really does. We had a nice evening together.
Alex Weinberg scored one of Seattle’s goals and Adam Larson provided an assist.
