In November, "Bengan" missed three weeks due to injury, and during the weekend that passed he made a comeback after another month's absence.
Tonight, the double Stanley Cup champion was also back in the goal record.
The Swede set the important 4-2 goal when visiting Ottawa chased a receipt. The Penguins won 5-2 at the end.
"Nice to have it overstated"Hörnqvist found a gap at the front post from a bad angle at the height of the extended finish line.
- It was a long time since I made any goal so it was fun. Nice to have it overstated directly too. Now I don't have to go around and think about when to get rid of the goal scorer, he tells Aftonbladet.
The team's scoring king Jake Guentzel was scored for a goal and two assists, but was injured when he set the final score 5-2.
The star broke into the coffin and when he got up he went straight into the dressing room while holding his right arm.
"It was really scary"Coach Mike Sullivan hopes to have more information after tomorrow's workout, but said after the game:
- It was really scary.
Pittsburgh has been severely injured this season, but has done well nonetheless. For example, they have won 14 of 22 matches without the team's fixed star Sidney Crosby.
Ottawa goalkeeper Marcus Högberg got a nightmare start with an intercepted goal in the first game of the match, saving a total of 28 from 33 shots.
