“That was unbelievable,” said Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk. “I’ve seen it a few times and every time it’s a pretty impressive goal,” marveled Senators defender Travis Hamonic.
With this dream goal, Stützle himself became the face and driving force of the Global Series. He himself said about his artificial shot, which was reminiscent of a hit in baseball: “I have never played baseball,” said the German. “I got lucky, knew there wasn’t much time left on the clock and just tried to get the puck on goal.”
Nylander puts on a show for his grandma
On the second day, William Nylander from the Toronto Maple Leafs made the event emotional. The Toronto Maple Leafs forward, who grew up in Stockholm, received a warm and loud welcome when he was announced in the starting six. The Swede then put on a show with three scorer points (one goal, two assists) and was named man of the day in the 3-2 win against the Red Wings. For the first time ever, Nylander played NHL ice hockey live in front of his grandmother, who was cheering in the stands. “It was special to be able to play in front of her today,” said Nylander, who wanted to order over 100 tickets for family and friends. “It was great that the family and many Swedish fans were there. It was a special day for me,” said the attacker.
“It’s outstanding that he was able to reward himself here in his hometown, in front of his family and friends,” said teammate Tyler Bertuzzi. “It was a special game for him here in his homeland,” said David Kampf, underlining the special magic of the Global Series.
Incidentally, Nylander should once again stand out with two points (one goal, one assist) in the 4:3 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild and extended his personal points streak to 17 games (12-15-27).
