- We had a good feeling throughout the match.
We spoke positively during the period break, and on the bench.
We held together, says Jonas Brodin to Bally Sports North.
After Minnesota via Matt Boldy made a fourth equalizer, the wind finally turned.
Just half a minute after the 4-4 goal, Jonas Brodin got the puck half a meter in front of the offensive blue line.
The Philadelphia players were busy with other things, so Brodin had plenty of time to charge on a powerful shot, and gave the guests the lead for the first time in the match.
The replay-friendly shot went in via the crossbar, right at the right-hand corner.
And despite the Philadelphia offensive, there were no more goals than that during the match, which thus ended 5-4.
- It was a good match, very tough, says the 28-year-old to Bally Sports North.
Minnesota had lost four games in a row before the match, which made the sweetness of the victory even sweeter.
In addition, Brodin had not scored since November.
- We worked so hard and got the victory with us.
Now we have to keep driving, he says.
