Färjestad's chain mates Michael Lindqvist and Marcus Nilsson topped the SHL ice hockey score after eight rounds.

The duo continued to produce at home against Leksand.

Lindqvist scored 1–0 and Nilsson put important 4–3. In addition, Nilsson recorded two assists and Lindqvist one when Karlstadlaget won 6–4 (1–2, 3–1, 2–1).

Targeted back

There were more offensive plus variants in Färjestad.

Sebastian Erixon scored 25 league games last season. When the 30-year-old sack opened this fall's goal account, he struck twice in ten minutes - making sure Färjestad kept up with the away team.

First he put in a backhand between Janne Juvonen's leg guard to 2–2 and then he sent a direct shot into the net roof to 3–3.

Next home goals sorted under the category psychological hits.

Leksand, who turned 0-1 to 2-1 in the first period and thus also had 3-2, took a mental break seconds before the end of the second period.

Forgot Nilsson

The away team dropped the puck on the offensive blue line and at the same time had the bad judgment to forget Marcus Nilsson. Johan Ryno found the right fit with the pass and in free position Nilsson entered the puck between the legs of Juvonen - with two seconds left for the break.

In addition to the 4-3 goal, Nilsson had a club in Lindqvist's 1–0 and in Erixons 3–3.

Färjestads team captain Linus Johansson decided the match when he took the return on his own shot and put 5-3 with a little less than six minutes left of the third period.

Leksand picked out the goalkeeper and reduced to 4-5 by Johan Fransson, but still could not avoid his fourth straight loss.

Linus Johansson doubled his goal harvest when he put 6-4 in the empty cage.
