The former Djurgården and Leksand player Emil Bemström has had a difficult season.

Injuries have hampered the 22-year-old, who therefore had barely enough playing time in the Columbus Blue Jackets.

During the night until Friday, the forward scored his first goal of the season.

It was against the Carolina Hurricanes - after a messy situation in the first period - that Bemström struck, 1-0.

The goal was the start of an overtaking.

Columbus eventually won 6-0.

Goalkeeper Elvis Merzlikins kept a clean sheet after 31 saves.

Hedman with assist

Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman assisted in the 4-2 victory over Vancouver.

During a powerplay in the first period, he served Steven Stamkos who pounded in the puck on a direct shot.

Czech David Pastrnak excelled when Boston defeated Philadelphia 3-2, scoring all three of his team's goals.

Erik Gustafsson's Chicago won against Montreal with 3-2 after extra time.

The hill assisted to two goals, including Filipp Kurashov's decision.
