Chicago Tops Los Angeles Kings in Exciting Showdown

LOS ANGELES. Leo Carlsson’s Anaheim scored twice in the first minute of tonight’s road game against Chicago and also took a 3-0 lead later in the opening period.

Nevertheless, they were beaten 5-3 in the end.

– We suddenly thought we could do what we wanted and it cost us, says coach Joel Qunneville.

The Ducks from Southern California did indeed get off to a successful start at the United Center.

Young Cutter Gauthier made it 1-0 after just fifteen seconds – and Olen Zellweger made it 2-0 after 47. Then Chris Kreider waited until the tenth minute before making it 3-0.

– We have preached that we have to start the open games better, so this was promising to see. But of course you have to keep playing the same set for 60 minutes as well, sighs Gauthier.

However, they forgot that this time. Tyler Bertuzzi managed to reduce at the end of the first and in the second act the home team caught up. And so Connor Bedard decided with two goals in the final period, one of which was in an empty net with barely two minutes left.

– After we got a 3-0 lead, we stopped doing what we know we have to do. We suddenly thought we could do what we wanted and it cost us, says coach Joel Qunneville.

– I am definitely disappointed. This is the kind of loss that risks haunting one.

Leo Carlsson assisted one of the guests’ goals and Andre Burakovsky one of the home team’s.

Dallas Stars forward Wyatt Johnston was the hottest profile of the night.

He accounted for a hat trick, plus an assist, as the Texas team picked up its fourth straight victory by beating Ottawa 6-1.

– You see around the league how many goals are scored near the box, so I try to get there, he says,

In a not-too-entertaining battle between Carolina and Calgary in Raleigh, it was 0-0 after full time, then Nikolai Ehlers scored in overtime – and on Long Island, Washington won its fourth game, 4-1 against the NY Islanders.
