ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jakob Silfverberg hasn’t slowed down since signing his contract extension two weeks ago.
Silfverberg scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:33 left to give the Anaheim Ducks a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Sunday night.
It was his team-leading 22nd goal of the season and his sixth since getting a five-year, $26.5 million extension.
“He wants to be productive every night,” Ducks assistant coach Marty Wilford said. “He’s a competitive guy. He has a lot of pride, a lot of passion. … You wish everyone could be like him.”
Adam Henrique and Daniel Sprong also scored for Anaheim, and Ryan Getzlaf had two assists.
