Bert Robertsson's return to Skellefteå was no history of sunshine. Instead, it was yet another loss on away team for the team, who have not yet scored away away game this season.
But it initially seemed to have improved in the team from the 0-5 loss to HV71 last. The team held tight for a long time, and also had a puck in goal in the first period. But after video review, the referees chose to judge the goal because a player interrupted Lindvall in the goal yard.
But five minutes into the second, the team would have to make 1-0 for real. Anton Mylläri found Olle Lycksell with a pass through the castle, and with a quick direct shot Lycksell managed to get the puck in at the first post.
After that, however, the home team woke up, taking over the game completely. And in the end, Linköping's defense couldn't keep Skellefteå away from the goal protocol anymore. After staying in the puck for a long time and circulating in the offensive zone, Jonatan Berggren found a gap to Adam Pettersson who could just 1-1.
And even in the third, the home team's pressure continued, and Linköping couldn't resist either. After six minutes, Robin Alvarez managed to put it 2-1, which also became the match decision.
