William Karlsson Scores 42nd Goal With a Short-Handed Beauty
7 years agoVegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson made sure that the team would clinch the Pacific division in style, as he scored the 3-2 winner on Saturday against San Jose with a short-handed beauty, finishing a breakaway with a between-the-legs move. He now has three goals in the last four games, taking the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy very seriously. The 25-year-old Swede trails Alexander Ovechkin by just three goals with three games to go, and he has a favorable schedule to cap off his unbelievable season on top of the goal-scoring chart. Vegas plays Vancouver next, against whom Karlsson has three goals in three games, and they finish off the regular season with trips to Calgary and Edmonton. Karlsson recently had a hat trick against the Flames and he's scored two goals in three games against the Oilers.
