Direct speech from Juuse Sarok after the game – “Fortunately”

The Nashville Predators rallied from the brink to win the first part of the Global Series in Stockholm late Friday night.

First, Sweden’s own son Filip Forsberg brought his team up to par in 58.50, and a few minutes later Steven Stamkos settled the win for Nashville.

The team was 70 seconds away from zero points, but eventually caught two of them.

The team’s support and security in the match was the Finnish goalkeeper Juuse Saroswhich stretched to the required booths.

However, there were few attacks for the Forsian.

– In that sense, a slightly different game from the goalkeeper’s eyes, that there were not many shots. However, it was the kind of team that faced that whenever they get into the attacking area, they manage to create chances. I just tried to stay constantly awake. We managed to keep the opponent out of position very well, Saros summed up the match.

The Penguins opened the scoring taps of the match in the second period when Yevgeny Malkin the puck delivered to the goal bounced off the stick of a Nashville player through Saros’ helmet and into the goal.

– Fortunately, it didn’t come down to that, and we got a win that I think we deserved. We managed to press well today, Saros carved.

In a low-scoring match where the finish is raining, rebounds are of great importance. It was also visible on Friday.

From the Predators’ point of view, the unlucky bounce was the game-winner.

Such situations can frustrate the team and the players.

– At that moment, I especially felt it. We had good chances and moments before that, then a goal like that came. However, we reset it as a team well and quickly.

The Swedish audience, who participated loudly, received warm praise from the Finn.

– The atmosphere was great right from the warm-up. This was a great experience.

What snacks for Sunday’s meeting?

– Probably tomorrow we will take a closer look at Friday’s match. Let’s take the good things from that game and then improve certain things.
