Brynäs success after the coach change

On Monday, Brynäs replaced his head coach Magnus Sundqvist with the assistant coaches Ove Molin and Johan Holmqvist.

Three days later, it was time for the new duo to reverse the Gävlelaget's downward trend.

A tough task in general and difficult against Rögle in particular when the Ängelholms team came up with the second best away series of the series, but Brynäs started with two quick goals by Anton Rödin where the first was not even intended as a shot on goal - but still slid in between the legs of Roman Will after 3.56 of the first period.

- I was just trying to get a shot for drawing or something. Ill that it went in, Brynäskaptenen told C More in the break interview.

Four minutes later, Greg Scott did a fine shot and passed Rödin who did 2-0 with a fine shot.

- We play better, move the puck well. Everything does not happen overnight, but I clearly see an improvement in the game. We see trends that we are doing what we have been talking about, ”Rödin explained.

Changing a full game mode in three days is obviously impossible, but the order before the match was to try to keep the defenses more unified. But also involving the centers for a longer period of the attacks and holding the puck more for faster playback, longer attacks and putting a harder pressure, Andreas Dackell, now Brynäs extra eye on the stand during match, summarized for TT.

Exactly as he imagined, however, it did not look to be honest and when Rögle took timeout after Brynäs' initial goal double, the visitors lifted the game and reduced (2-1) at the end of the first period.

But a new ignition can be mentally rewarding too.

Back Jonathan Sigalet scored two goals during the preseason in his first match for Brynäs, but it wasn't until Thursday night that he got to cheer for his first SHL goal in Gävleklubben after Greg Scott came on the right, cross-scored and passed Sigalet who pushed a direct shot. (3-1) at the intersection.

At the end of the second period, the situation was tougher for guest Rögle when center Simon Ryfors received a match penalty - for slashing - after pulling up the club between the legs of Jacob Blomqvist who in the situation before had pressed the Rögles Player against the ice.

Brynäs admittedly failed to utilize his five-minute powerplay, but began to find more and more where Dackell had intended - and in the third period Anton Rödin completed his hattrick after a quick conversion where he finished with a quick shot past the Röglemål guard, followed by 5-1. from Lukas Kilström.

Rögles Leon Bristedt reduced in the final minutes but for Brynäs the mission to break the loss trend was still completed. If there is then a lasting change remains to be seen.
