The game went the distance where both teams managed to score 4 goals a piece, but when it went to overtime the game had shifted in Anaheim's favor. Matthew Tkachuk was slow to get back to the defensive zone, leaving Killorn to be the open man and take a snapshot on the corner of the goaltender Anthony Stolarz.
The game was fast-paced and had all the ingredients of a hockey game between the two teams, with the Ducks managing the win after a tough season.
In a crazy sequence after the OT goal, Killorn went up and taunted a Panthers fan. Absolutely hilarious!
Killorn is a decorated forward who knows how to advance the puck and may take his shots on the net at times. His hockey IQ is top-notch and he is a 2-time Stanley Cup Champion. His importance to a team is vital because of the leadership he brings and the playoff experience he possesses on his resume.
Alex Killorn signed a 4-year deal with the Ducks during the 2023 off-season free agency and is playing well to his capabilities, starting strong at the beginning of the season. However, the team is in decline and needs to address the young forwards, plus prospects on the team to play accordingly in the NHL. Killorn can lead this team with his broad knowledge and may give the youngsters the help to play in the league.
