Mattias Ekholm became the hero in overtime when Edmonton beat Boston in NHL ice hockey.
1.04 into overtime, the Swede decided the match when he was completely alone and could score the 3–2 goal.
It felt like "Sesam open up". Suddenly everyone was gone. It was fun, says Ekholm to Aftonbladet.
It's not very often I score goals in overtime, precisely. But it has happened. Among other things, I actually scored the first three-on-three goal in Nashville's history.
Boston led 2–0 after the first period. Edmonton then caught up with goals in both the second and third periods.
We were pretty sluggish in the beginning, but in the second we got going, continues hero Ekholm.
