Swedish talent Victor Eklund debuted in the AHL in the USA shortly after arriving. The 19-year-old scored the decisive goal in a shootout with a perfect shot. Eklund said he was jetlagged but felt it went quite well, and he had joined the New York Islanders' farm team for a training session before the debut.
He expressed feeling like part of the group and working towards a playoff spot. Eklund left Sweden after his team Djurgården was eliminated from the playoffs last week.
