The 26-year-old was clear that he “kind of came straight off the plane” and had no expectations for his debut. Wahlstrom instead had the attitude of “enjoying the game and the incredible crowd.”

For the American, there was more to enjoy.

One goal and one assist.

It's always good but we have to win, it would be more fun, he told TV4 after the first period.

The two points, however, were far behind. Djurgården lost after falling 2-0 and 3-2 and only won in overtime, when two-goal scorer Carles Hudon scored the winner after 1:27.

Djurgården coach Robert Kimby on Wahlstrom's success:

He still has some skating left... The first goal was a bit lucky. The second came after a really great play. He's happy to keep doing that for us.
