20-year-old Kent Johnson completed a spectacular goal in the hockey league NHL. Johnson also has a Finnish background, as his Finnish mother moved to North America when he was two years old.
In the hockey NHL, we saw a great goal last night, when the super promise of the Columbus Blue Jackets Kent Johnson20, succeeded in the airwaves.
Johnson went around the goal at the end of the second period and wonderfully wrapped the puck in the air into the net. The goal gave Columbus a 3–2 lead against the New York Islanders.
– It’s always nice to score a goal, but especially in this way. I was very happy. I don’t know if I was relieved, but I was really excited about the goal, Johnson commented on his hit.
It wasn’t the first time for the youngster, as Johnson scored a free-kick against the Czech Republic at the World Youth Championship last August. Canadian Johnson also has a Finnish background, as his mother Anita is Finnish.
– He moved here when he was two years old, but he speaks fluent Finnish. They still speak it with their sister, but mom didn’t want me to hear the language when I was little, Johnson told Ilta-Sanom earlier in January. (you switch to another service)
However, according to IS, Kent Johnson does not speak Finnish.
– Unfortunately, not, he told the magazine.
The goal was Johnson’s 15th of the season. He already played nine games in the NHL last season, but this season he has received more responsibility. A total of 15+22=37 points have been accumulated.
Columbus stretched the game into overtime where Boone Jenner hit his team with victory superiority. Patrick Laine did not play in the match due to injury. Laine will be sidelined for 2-4 weeks due to an extensor injury.
Colorado defeated Arizona
The Colorado Avalanche didn’t let the Arizona Coyotes surprise them, but won the match 3–1.
Finished the winning goal in the final set Cale Makar. Mikko Rantanen made a mask in front of the goal, but did not hit the puck with his stick. Thus, the Finn is still three hits away from the 50 goal mark.
Buffalo Sabres Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made the save against the New Jersey Devils. Luukkonen knocked down 27 pucks in the match. New Jersey Devils Erik Haula marked as the second passer for his team’s second goal. Jack Hughes scored 2+1.
