Goalkeeper Jussi Rynnäs was recruited to Linköping late, when Jonas Gustavsson recently decided to take a break from ice hockey.
In the match away against Färjestad, between the two jumbo teams in the SHL, he got the chance between the posts - but it was a nightmare debut.
After nine minutes of play, Färjestad's Martin Johansson scored 3-0 (09.11) behind Rynnäs who thanked for himself and handed over the goalkeeper spade to Niklas Lundström.
Heavy start in the new club for the Finn.
"It's a shame"
- It's a shame that we have to replace Jussi like that.
We have to fight for the team and support each other, Linköping's coach Bert Robertsson told C More after the first period.
Linköping was responsible for two quick reduction pucks before the first period was over and at the beginning of the third Broc Little equalized.
But when the match was over, it was 5-4 to Färjestad on the scoreboard.
Karlstadlaget's first three points.
