The Växjö player scored 5-1 and 10-1 when Sweden crushed Norway 18-2 and secured a place in Saturday's WC semi-finals.
On both occasions, the goalscorer celebrated by dropping the stick and putting his hands in front of his face in a special goal gesture.
What did it mean?
- It's for the daughter.
It was an "M" for Melanie, it's that simple, says Sankell to SVT Sport.
- It's always fun to score goals, but the happiest will probably be the little girl at home who gets to see dad on TV.
Now, with a high probability, Finland awaits in the World Cup semi-final on Saturday.
A giant meeting between two teams that usually meet in the final.
- I would be lying if I didn't say that it is the match that you are waiting for.
If it's semi-final or final it doesn't matter, the games against Finland are the most fun I've played in my career so this will be a lot of fun.
Everyone in Sweden has shown that we are ready, so I hope it will be a worthy match in every way, says Jesper Sankell.
