It was Djurgården who broke Luleå’s winning streak, which continued to four consecutive victories.
This after William Eklund coldly scored the decisive 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night.
– I tried to apply for a passport for Haga, but the ice was a bit bad. Then I tried to find a position and then a free position appeared, it was good to put it there, says Dif winner.
What does it mean to beat a team like Luleå?
– Big fun. It’s a strong team, but so are we.
Would you say it was the best of the season for you?
– It was a good game, also against Malmö, but yes, this was probably the best of the season.
At the beginning of the series, Eklund has been paired with captain Jacob Josefson and Alexander Holtz of the same age.
– The chemistry has been developed for each match. I try to contribute speed around the edge and turn and turn in curves. Then find a way to Alex and Josefson, who are a security for us. Alex is also a shooter that you rarely see.
Eklund, 17, firmly states that both he and Holtz have a master of rank among them.
– It’s the best center in SHL. He feels very safe, even with Alex (Holtz), who is a good shot. We mix well.
What is the biggest difference for you personally this year compared to last season?
– Now I can challenge in a completely different way. I am bigger and stronger. I also had a great opportunity at the beginning, I’m just trying to take advantage of it.
“It’s really worth it”
William Eklund could have been born the same year as Alexander Holtz (2002), but this time it could not be written because he was born after September.
He won’t have a chance to be judged by an NHL team until next year.
Then he hopes to cheer as hard as Alexander Holtz did Wednesday night when the New Jersey Devils selected him as the seventh player in the draft.
– I was at his house when he was recruited and it was very inspiring to see how happy he was. It really is worth it.
What should I do with the rest of them? 30 NHL caps you had at home then?
– Hahaha, I don’t know. He probably keeps them to himself.
Maybe they should auction the team?
– Haha and.
But should it have been inspiring to follow your part before next year?
– Absolutely. Dress the joy, of course it is inspiring.
