Just an inning puck on the last four matches and now two straight goals in the back.

Oscar Alsenfelt continues to play big in the goal for the Malmö Redhawks, although at home against HV71 he had margins on his side - even when he was overplayed.

With only a minute left to play in the second period, most people would have found that the goalkeeper had finally surrendered, when the away team's Linus Fröberg whipped the puck high into the net after a conversion.

But after video review, the target was sentenced when it turned out that HV71's Linus Sandin disturbed Alsenfelt with both skating and club before firing off. Something lucky for Alsenfelt who was out of position and probably still hadn't been able to save the puck.

-It's bouncing right now and it feels good, says Oscar Alsenfelt, whose top form comes a bit illogical according to himself.

"Coming retroactive"

- It feels like it's going to be a little retroactive. I think I've played well for a long time, but in the past I may have let in four goals instead. It's a bit like hockey, I guess. But I am grateful and happy for this.

With zero intact, the goalkeeper then continued to close in front of his own net - and in the third period instead saw the match's only goal fall on the other side of the ice.

A real match goal was decisive in the Malmö arena where the home team's Jesper Jensen forced in 1-0 after a messy situation. The 32-year-old forward threw an exit from close range and, to the delight of the home crowd, saw the puck go in an arc over HV71's goalkeeper Jonas Gunnarsson.

Shelving the slopes

After the 1-0 victory, Alsenfelt praised the interaction with his slopes, which paved the way for a new zero after 4-0 against Djurgården last.

- The slopes are on the right side. It can look difficult at times, but if the shooter has only one side to shoot, it can be a little easier for me, he says.

The next round of SHL is played on the second day. Malmö goes on Christmas break in eighth place while HV71 remains as fifth.
