Leo Carlsson Shines with Four-Point Night Following Halloween Prank

Swedish hockey star Leo Carlsson delivered a stellar performance for the Anaheim Ducks in their 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Halloween night. Carlsson scored one goal and assisted on three others, contributing significantly to the team's win at Honda Center and earning a spot among the game's three stars. This performance elevated his season tally to 15 points in just 10 games, tying him with William Nylander as the top Swedish scorer so far. Anaheim Ducks coach Joel Quenneville praised Carlsson’s impact, calling him a 'wow-factor' due to his speed and puck control. Earlier in the week, Carlsson was the target of a Halloween prank by his teammates involving masked construction workers at their training facility, which startled him just before a practice session. Despite the scare, Carlsson embraced the humor, stating, "Ja, jäklar vad rädd jag blev" ("Wow, I was really scared"). He expressed confidence after the game, insisting he no longer fears NHL opponents. Carlsson's resilience and impressive point production underscore his rising prominence in the league and highlight his key role in Anaheim's strong start this season.
