Linköping was hot in the first period. After eight minutes, it had taken the lead by 2-0, and looked to be able to go against three extremely important points in the bottom swamp that they are in. But after that something happened. HV71 took a timeout, and took over the match. And it wasn't long before Jesper Williamsson was able to reduce halfway into the first.
In the second period, HV71 pressed hard, and won the shots with a full 14-4. And then Jacob Johansson could not resist in the LHC box, but Linus Sandin in powerplay acknowledged 2-2.
In the third period, Linköping snapped to the defense a little, but it did not help. Because when the home team dropped the puck in their own zone, Linus Fröberg could snatch up the puck, and after going up to blue and facing the castle, he splashed 3-2 into the cross with only two and a half minutes left. LHC then tried to get a receipt with picked goalkeeper, but instead Simon Önerud was able to determine the final result 4-2 to HV71.
- It's strong. Incredibly important victory. In addition to the first ten, we make a strong away match. It's important for the team that we hook up there, Fröberg tells C More.
