Swedish defenseman Erik Karlsson assisted on two of Pittsburgh's goals when the team hosted Anaheim in the NHL. But then Karlsson was the unlucky guy at the end when, lying on the ice, he was the one who made sure the visitors' equalizer puck found the goal in the final seconds of the game.
It touched my hand and went in, it's nothing to talk about. But how it could happen, I don't know... It absolutely shouldn't happen. With seventeen seconds left we were leading by a goal and got a power play. We win the draw, but they score a goal. We'll have to suffer for a day or two, says Erik Karlsson to the NHL website.
After a goalless overtime, it went to penalties and Leo Carlsson was the only one to score for Anaheim.
However, Carlsson is not allowed to take credit for the penalty goal in the points league, where he is tied for eighth and is still the best Swede with 38 points (16+22).
