Victor Eklund

Djurgardens vs Almtuna (Allsvenskan)

1/22/2025

Here is an Eklund shift early in the third period: hits the ice immediately into a forecheck, then back deep into his own end. Defender gets a puck in the corner, breakout pass to the left boards, and Eklund turns and races up ice to be the first one into the offensive zone and chase down the chipped puck in the left corner. Wins the race, moves the puck to the right corner. Then he's over and supporting in the right corner, and as a cycle begins, he curls to the high slot. Moves to the right corner to collect a puck, sends it through to the left point, and goes to the crease. A saved shot spins back around to the left point, and Eklund moves to center point. Puck goes D to D to the right point, Eklund pivots, opens to the puck, glides backwards toward the left circle, then one-time slapper five hole. Goal. My goodness.
