That Pettersson and Miller would become match heroes after a great victory could be believed after the first 20 minutes.

The guests won the first period's shooting statistics by 23-7, but in the goal record it was 1-1.

- We were not happy with the first period of course.

The second period was okay but in the third we played well.

But next time (against Ottawa again) we have to play well for 60 minutes, says Pettersson at the press conference after the match.

It was in others that Pettersson and Miller finally gained momentum on goal production.

Pettersson was involved in the prelude to Miller's 2-1 and minutes later the American also scored his second goal before it was time for the Swede's 3-1 in a game in numerical superiority behind Marcus Högberg in the Ottawa goal.

Looking ahead

The difference from before?

The aggressiveness, says Pettersson himself.

- When I had the puck in powerplay, I always tried to shoot.

In the previous matches I may have kept the puck more and not taken the chances, so I was probably a little more aggressive today in thought and play.

After zero goals and goal-scoring assists in the first three matches, the 22-year-old has now scored two goals in the last three matches.

- We always play under pressure and I am the one who puts the most pressure on me.

I always want to play well.

The frustration comes when we do not win.

Everyone on the team wants to win, really win.

Both I and the others have more to give, he says and looks ahead.

- Now we have two good matches to build on, the confidence is there so now we are ready for tomorrow.

Finished in Nashville

The second match of the night was goalless, but all the more exciting.

In the end, Nashville was able to win against Chicago 2-1 after a penalty decision.

The first goal of the match came only after 45 minutes of play, when Nashville's Nick Cousins ​​found right behind Kevin Lankinen in the Chicago goal.

Four minutes later, the visitors equalized via Ryan Carpenter and there were no more goals until Matt Duchene as the only player set his penalty.

After the goal, both Patrick Kane and Mattias Janmark had the chance to take the penalty further, but neither of them managed to outsmart Nashville's Juuse Saros.
