Nylander saved a point – Gustavsson shone

Advertisement

William Nylander scored the team's goal, but it was only one point for Toronto, who lost to Minnesota 1-2 in NHL ice hockey.

The goal came with a numerical advantage with less than a minute left of the first period. The Swede received a pass out to the left and took a direct shot that slipped in behind Filip Gustavsson in Minnesota's goal and meant 1-1.

I think our power play clicked there, so it felt good, said Nylander after the match.

But then Gustavsson shut the door again and saved a total of 27 shots. The home team Minnesota also took the extra point after Matt Boldy decided the game more than two minutes into overtime.

Another Swede who was credited with a goal in tonight's NHL round was Edmonton's Mattias Janmark, who sealed the final result 4-2 with three seconds left of the third period when his Edmonton defeated Calgary on the road.
