New York. John Klingberg’s new life as a duck got off to a great start.
Anaheim turned around and won the opening game against Seattle in overtime and he had helped himself.
– It was good that we were finally able to come back, but we can do much better than that, the Swedish back star told Sportbladet after the initial 5-4 win.
Late in the middle of the third period, they tracked the Anaheim Ducks into their Honda Center home opening.
Kraken were leading 4-2 – after Andrei Burakovsky, among others, scored a goal on his debut for the new club – and seemed to have all the momentum.
But the ducks finally made a good shot and equalized with goals from Franck Vatrano and Trevor Zegras – both with the help of… John Klingbergthe Swedish background character who, after eight years in Dallas, moved to Southern California for the season.
Troy Terry then settled into overtime.
Yes, it was good that we were finally able to come back, says Klingberg when we spoke to him afterwards.
– But it wasn’t really a good effort. We weren’t very good without the tweaks and not with the tweaks either, we became very aggressive and very passive. We can do much better than this
What about you? Two points in debuting is good.
– Yes Yes. I think it seemed a little slow at times, although I did get some odd points at the end. I can do better too
Otherwise you will feel good in the new environment, is it a good group?
– Absolutely. We’ve been here since August and we’re getting into it now. everything is great.
Immediately after the opening of the house, the ducks go on a long road trip. They will first face all the teams in the New York area – Islanders, Rangers and Devils – and then go on to Boston and Detroit.
