Leksand arrived at Scandinavium at 18.20 after their aircraft had broken earlier in the day.

Add to that that a total of seven players were on the absentee list when the team left Borlänge: Linus Persson, Marek Hrivik, Andrée Hult, Mattias Ritola, Mattias Karlsson, Emil Heineman and Mattias Göransson.

But despite this, the SHL jumbon stood for a giant bark against a sure-fire form Frölunda.

match Penalty

Daniel Gunnarsson gave the visitors the lead 4.24 in the first period when released by Sebastian Wännström. After then also made it 2-0, the home team came into the race. When Joel Lundqvist resigned in the run-up to the final period, many believed that Frölunda would eventually settle for the victory.

But when Rhett Rakshani elbowed Jonas Ahnelöv and incurred a match penalty with just over ten minutes left, Leksand saw his chance.

Daniel Gunnarsson bombed the lead from the blue line, and when Matt Carey went 5-2 a moment later the thing was clear. In the end, it went 5-2.

The victory means that Leksand will hand over the last place to Oskarshamn, which fell at home to Färjestad during Tuesday night.

- Of course not good enough. We are in the third, but the match penalty will of course be crucial. I feel sorry for the guys, we get damn badly punished for that expulsion. It is extremely harshly condemned, more I will not say because then I get thousands of dollars in fines. says Roger Rönnberg in C More.
