The 29-year-old from Härnösand, who was one of the match’s three best players, is satisfied with the evening’s performance, which contributed to Buffalo’s seventh straight loss.
— I wouldn’t say it feels like the best match I’ve played so far. But it was a step in the right direction. I’ve had a few games now where it’s felt really good but where I’ve let in one or two shots that I should have taken. It’s tough sometimes, Forsberg told nhl.com after the game.
In Chicago, it was Calle Rosén who gave his team St. Louis a 1–0 lead on away ice after just over 14 minutes played. Five of the match’s seven goals in total came in the second period, which was also won by the Swede’s team in shooting statistics 18–10.
In total, St. Louis had 35 shots on goal compared to Chicago, which is reflected in the final score: 5–1 to St. Louis.
