Milestone for the Swede Marcus Johansson: 200 is still quite a lot

Minnesota forward Marcus Johansson scored the crucial goal to make it 4-2 against Seattle. It was his 15th goal of the season - and the 200th of his NHL career. "I'm not known as a great scorer, but 200 is still quite a lot," he told Aftonbladet after the 5-2 victory.

It's of course extra fun that only about 30 Swedes have done it before.

Minnesota got off to a rough start and was down 1-2 after the first period. But then the home team got going. Two goals in the second gave them the lead heading into the third, and that's when the Swedes got into the act.

Johansson scored to make it 4-2 and led the way to a fourth straight win. Dallas awaits in the first round of the playoffs.

Joel Eriksson Ek made it 5-2. Goalie Jesper Wallstedt made 25 saves and earned his 17th victory of the season.
