Fast-paced ice hockey was offered when the teams crashed at Hovet on Friday night.
The home team AIK kicked off the match when Max Lindholm found the goal after 22 seconds, but then hacked the machinery.
Södertälje scored three straight goals until 3-1 after Lucas Carlsson scored the 3-1 goal in powerplay at the beginning of the second period.
But AIK came back.
Lindholm stayed ahead again and put 2-3 before Oscar Nord pushed in the 3-3 puck in the same period.
Six goals in two periods and completely open in the match.
- We got in some simple pucks.
Nice that we got in the race, Lindholm told C More in the second period break.
The final period was also even.
With less than two minutes left, the score was 4-4 when Hugo Gustafsson stepped forward and put 5-4 to Södertälje.
It was the guests' sixth straight victory.
- It was not our best match, but we manage to take three points and it is damn nice, says Hugo Gustafsson.
