Jesper Fast has longed for it to drop after the Swede was goalless in 17 games.
But when the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night, the Swede was highly involved.
Jesper Fast splashed in two baskets, one on the return and the other from the right wing.
– I’ve been waiting for this, it hasn’t been that easy so far. It was obviously very nice to get two goals today and now I hope to ride the wave, he says to NHL.
The Hurricanes won 5-3 in the end and Andrey Svetchnikov had also scored a hat-trick.
