Ice hockey: Swedish doldisen Philip Broberg’s first Stanley Cup goal gave Edmonton the match point: “The most important thing is that we won”

After a draw, the puck went back to defender Broberg, who was standing on the left edge and beautifully shot the 3-0 goal into the right crossbar with a hard-pressed shot. It was his third NHL goal overall.

Jake Oettinger in the Dallas goal was blindsided and got his glove up too late to make the save.

– I was just trying to aim for the goal, so it was fun to see that it went in, Philip Broberg told reporters, adding that he will probably call his family and his girlfriend after the win.

Can go to final early Monday morning

It became very quiet in the arena while there was wild cheering in front of a big screen in Edmonton.

Edmonton can decide the match series in front of the home fans early Monday morning Swedish time and go to the final against Florida or the NY Rangers.

Örebro-raised Broberg, 22, left Skellefteå for Edmonton, where he alternated with the AHL team Bakersfield Condors, in the 2021-22 season.
