"I'll remember this forever. A fantastic pass from Lucas, so I have to thank him for that", says Johansson, who played his 20th NHL game, in a press release.
Coach Todd McLellan praised Johansson after the game.
"Albert showed good instincts and has gotten better for every period he's played", he says.
The 24-year-old Johansson and a few other Swedes on the team contributed significantly to Detroit's eventual 5-3 win, their sixth straight victory. In addition to superstar Lucas Raymond serving Albert Johansson for his goal, Raymond himself scored 2-1 at the beginning of the second period. Erik Gustafsson got an assist for Detroit's 3-1 goal and Simon Edvinsson for the home team's fifth goal.
Corrected: In an earlier version, Johansson's age was incorrect.
