It's fun to score points in two matches in a row. It feels good out there – not too hard, not too easy, so it's fun, said the 20-year-old who scored two goals in the previous match, the win against Boston.
In fact, Leo Carlsson has been on fire since the Four Nations in February. There, the center was the tournament's youngest player and the experience apparently gave him a boost.
Since then, Carlsson has scored 20 points (10 goals+10 assists) in 18 matches.
So far this season, he has scored 39 points (19+20) in 66 matches.
His Anaheim team seems to be missing the Stanley Cup playoffs and if he's only healthy and injury-free, he'll likely play in the World Championship on home soil in Stockholm in May.
So his form is music to national team coach Sam Hallam's ears.
Carlsson's goal in the overtime win against Anaheim came in a numerical disadvantage.
He has just started playing in boxplay, but does it very well, said Anaheim coach Greg Cronin to nhl.com.
