The Swedish team Calgary received Winnipeg late on Monday night, Swedish time, and the match was on its way to extra time when the successful Swede stepped in 2-1 with only 47 seconds left.
- Elias Lindholm, who else, exclaimed the commentator in the NHL's TV broadcast.
An offside goal
Yes, who else?
The 27-year-old is one of the NHL's brightest stars and has delivered nine goals in eight games and scored a total of 23 goals this season.
He thus touches Kenta Nilsson's 39-year-old Swedish NHL record, writes Aftonbladet.
As if by chance, Nilsson also played for Calgary, and in November 1983 he noted a goal suite of eight games - which no other NHL Swede until now has managed to repeat.
Lindholm also scored a goal in the second period, but it was ruled out for offside.
Not the best Swede in the shooting league
In Calgary's goal, at the same time, Jacob Markström held almost tight - with a save percentage of 95.7 percent.
The match ended 3-1 in the end, after Mikael Backlund passed to a Calgary goal in an empty cage with eleven seconds left.
The victory is Calgary's tenth straight, a close club record, and the team leads the NHL's Pacific Division.
The next chance for Elias Lindholm to beat Kenta Nilsson's record will be on Thursday, when Calgary will face Vancouver.
Three Swedish NHL stars have scored 23 goals this season, in addition to Elias Lindholm also Adrian Kempe and Gabriel Landeskog.
The best Swede in the shooting league, however, is Filip Forsberg with 25 goals.
