It was an emotional night of NHL action on Friday, as fans, players and organisations mourned the death of Toronto Maple Leafs legend Borje Salming.
The much-loved Salming was diagnosed with ALS earlier this year, and died on Thursday after his health had rapidly declined. Salming was a pioneer for Swedish hockey, becoming the first player from the nation to make it to the NHL.
The Leafs fought hard for a 4-3 win against Minnesota Wild on Friday, with the players determined to put on a solid performance in light of Salming's passing. And it was written in the stars for Swedish star William Nylander to score the winning goal, and he dedicated it to Salming.
