He produced 53 points in 82 regular season games, but just in time for the playoffs, William Karlsson has geared up. Last night, the 30-year-old sent in two goals and played until a third as his Vegas Golden Knights ran over the Dallas Stars and now he stands listed for ten goals in 17 playoff games played.
A feat only four Swedes (Henrik Zetterberg, Daniel Alfredsson, Johan Franzén and Gabriel Landeskog) have achieved before.
–Wow. Yes, that's a decent set of legends. But it has gone well and it is of course very fun to score some goals, says Karlsson to Sportbladet.
Now the Florida Panthers await in the finals. The first game will be played in Las Vegas, the night of Sunday, 02.00 Swedish time.
"It feels great. We have been to the conference finals a few times and now we make it to the final for the second time. I hope for a different outcome this turnaround. It's a great feeling," Karlsson told NHL.com.
