The Swedish dark horse decided in overtime: "Big"

Detroit's Swedish defenseman Simon Edvinsson became the match hero when he scored the 3-2 goal in overtime against Pittsburgh. It felt really good. First overtime goal. We battled the entire game and to get that goal at the end and two points, it's huge, said the 21-year-old from Onsala after the game, reports the league's website.

The guests from Michigan got a flying start after Jonatan Berggren initiated the goal scoring with just one minute played, a lead that teammate Patrick Kane extended a few minutes later. The home team, however, came back and managed to both reduce and equalize before the first period was over.

Then it became much more tight and neither of the teams managed to decide during regular time. But 1.30 into overtime, Edvinsson, somewhat of a hidden gem in NHL contexts, delivered his full hit when he was served in front of the goal and pulled off with a wrist shot that slipped past Alex Nedeljkovic in the opponent's net.

The goal is the Swede's second for the season.
