Kings forward Samuel Helenius, a 1.90 meter tall colossus, made his presence felt in this game with solid shoulder shots. Artem Guryev defended his teammates by asking his rival to dance.
In this heavyweight duel, none of the pugilists bent their knees, although some powerful punches were thrown. The other players on the ice really appreciated it.
Helenius in particular wants to impress the Kings and get the opportunity to present himself in the National League for the first time. The second-round pick (59th overall) in the 2021 draft played for the Ontario Reign of the American League last year.
