  • Erik Karlsson back in the WC after twelve years

  • He accounted for three points, but is also praised for his sacrificial play. Among other things, he had a fight with his teammate in Minnesota, Matt Boldy, after the USA reduced to 3-2.

    – There are two people trying to compete out there. We are both competitive. After the match, I hope we are friends again, says Eriksson Ek.

    Sam Hallam likes the fact that the team has players who take the fights.

    – It is good. We have a couple more that have that ability to just stick with people and piss people off. To be in a heap with someone somewhere. It is good to have them on our team, says the national team captain.
