Djurgården could hardly have chosen a better day to write the record in the club books.

The Stockholm club described the meeting with Brynäs as a "tribute match" where the successes - 16 SM gold on the men's side and one on the women's side - were highlighted shortly before the drop.

In addition, the players played in jerseys inspired from the match venue used in 1966.

History was, as I said, the subject of the evening.

Club Records

And it was a historic moment this time in Hovet - after last week the team managed to hit the record in the meeting with Leksand.

3-2 against Brynäs means that Djurgården now has thirteen straight home victories, which means that the 32 is the old record from the 1987–1988 season, in the SHL / elite series context, was added to.

But the three-pointer was at the lowest possible margin.

It was only after 15.28 of the third period - 20 seconds after Emil Molin's 2-2 receipt in powerplay - that Niclas Bergfors got the puck and sent a decisive 3-2 behind goalkeeper Samuel Ersson.

High current in high form

At home, however, it was mostly about Marcus Högström. The back who scored three goals and an assist in the last home meeting with Brynäs showed that he thrives on the Gävlelaget.

This time it became 1 + 2.

In the beginning of the first period he was behind Djurgården's management goals. The 30-year-old took the lap around Samuel Ersson's goal and played Sebastian Strandberg to 1-0 after 3.05.

2-1 put Högström himself, although it was a lot of luck when the shot - read the pinball - made its way into the Brynäs goal via Jonathan Sigalet, Ersson and Victor Söderström.

And then he and Strandberg were behind Bergfors 3-2 goals.
