Prior to the bottom meeting, the last Linköping had only picked 2 of 15 possible points, gone on strike in three straight games and achieved a total goal difference of 9-18.

Given the exposed situation and poor self-confidence, it was guaranteed to let in a backward goal after just over three minutes.

Also on a shot by Marcus Davidsson (when Växjö had powerplay) who did not look at all unimaginable for Jonas Gustavsson - the goalkeeper who was back after his concussion in the opening round.

LHC turned

But the East Goths fought their way back and in the end Henrik Törnqvist pressed the receipt on his own return after a nice rise of the chain polar Olle Lycksell.

- Olle is doing great, wins his fight. Then I just try to go on target and do a little pig meal. Nice to do first for the season, said Henrik Törnqvist in C More.

In the mid-act, an intense and considerably more substantial than previous LHC took over even more and controlled the events.

Nick Sörensen and Olle Lycksell had great positions before the dividend arrived - just Lycksell found with a shot pass to Axel Ottosson, who nicely controlled the puck up to 2-1 in numerical superiority.

- Classic shooting goal, good pass by Olle. Feeling like there were a few pounds dropping off their shoulders there, Axel Ottosson said smiling to C More about his first goal in the Linköping shirt.

Criticized the team

Växjö found it difficult to create locations, except for dangerous control of Emil Pettersson, they were never close.

- They came out much more tagged than we in the second period, and created long attacks on us. We have to be richer in our own zone, get home to five people and help each other, so that we can then devote ourselves to attack hockey, criticized the guests' Erik Josefsson in C More.

Joe Whitney increased to 3-1 in the final period and it didn't matter that Richard Gynge reduced. Linköping took the first three points for the season.
