palm spring. With two new performances, Erik Carlson broke the 40th assist league barrier last night — and now he shares the top spot with Conor McDavid and Nikita Kutgerov.
“It still feels good,” Smålänner says coolly to Sportbladet after San Jose’s 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Nah, baby boy Eric Carlson’s story didn’t belong until 2022. It continues according to the same scenario into the new year as well.
He was thus responsible for two more baskets as San Jose opened 2023 with a 5-2 win over a jumbo table Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.
This implies the following conclusion.
He accounted for a total of 40 assists in 39 games and shares first place in the assists league with Connor McDavid and Nikita Kucherov.
He scored a total of 53 points and is tied for fourth in the league in scoring. Ahead of him are only McDowd (72!), Leon Drystel (57) and Jason Robertson (54).
He leads appearances in scoring by 11 points to runner-up Josh Morrissey.
– Yes, you should be content with that, you say “EK65” when we talk to him after the game against Chicago.
– I still feel great, I play the drums.
But isn’t it possible to make you speak in the headlines exactly?
– No, it won’t matter, haha. I maintain the same calmness no matter what happens.
For Sharks as a team, it’s still pretty heavy. They have ten points on the line and will almost certainly miss the playoffs. However against Chicago they showed they came back from 2-0 down to win 5-2.
– Yes, Eric agrees, it was a good game on our part. Especially considering we played in Dallas last night and got to Chicago late at night.
Aha, so I celebrated the New Year in …
On the plane, yes. Great fun …
Oscar Lindblom also provided two assists in tonight’s game.
