New York. Seattle celebrated a goal with an all-Swedish applause as the Kraken claimed its fifth consecutive win last night.
Andrej Burakovsky received a quick pass from Adam Larsson, played it with a direct touch by Alex Weinberg – and smashed the ball inside.
– Yeah, the three of us have a little bit of extra chemistry, so it was fun to hit that target, Winnie tells Sportbladet after the 5-4 win over Anaheim.
The success of the Seattle Kraken continues. After a commendable win over the Golden Knights in Vegas last Friday, they followed up with a 5-4 win over the Ducks in Anaheim last night. In doing so, they have won five points in a row and are second in the Western table – seven points down to the line.
– Yes, it looks good. Tonight we just had to fight really hard to win, but we showed real character and that’s important, not least against opponents in our league,” says Alex Weinberg when we spoke to him after the game against the Ducks.
– It is no coincidence that things are going so well. We were welded together in a completely different way than last year, when everything was new for everyone. I think we play with maturity and do the right things all the time.
In addition, the team gained an offensive advantage – not least thanks to Andrzej Burakovsky.
– Really, continues Alex, he was exactly what we needed and he scored 21 points in 21 games. It is a nice.
He also took part in the highlight at the Honda Center last night: an all-Swede goal from applause barely seven minutes into the first half. Adam Larsson caught the puck on the blue line and found Bora in the middle of the castle with a quick pass. Then, Skåne moved just as quickly to Alex on the side of the box – and he was able to whip the score 2-0.
– Yes, it was fun that all the Swedes took part in such a beautiful goal. The scorer says: We have some extra chemistry together.
