Björklöven, together with Timrå, have been the hockey allsvenskan's giants this season.
Tonight's loss for Umeålaget was the season's only fourth zero points in 21 rounds and they have a reassuring distance of seven points down to Södertälje in third place.
Despite this, the game has not been dazzling lately, but it would start well at home against Mora.
Already after eight minutes of play, Björklöven had gone up to a clear 3-0 lead after goals from Justin Crandall, Tyler Vesel and Alexander Wiklund.
Match penalty for slashing
But then came the great landslide.
The former Löven player, Oskar Stål-Lyrenäs who now plays in Mora, reduced to 3-1 before the first period was over and when Mora had turned into a 5-3 lead at the end of the second he was a two-goal shooter.
Among other things, Mora was offered a five-minute powerplay when Lövenstjärnan, Alex Hutchings, received a match penalty for a slashing.
Change goalkeeper
Connor Ingram was recruited to Björklöven when star goalkeeper Kevin Poulin injured himself.
Ingram has been anything but stable and before the third period he was replaced and replaced by 21-year-old, Isak Mantler.
No appreciated task for young Mantler as the Umeå team's defense did not line up for their goalkeepers tonight.
Already after six minutes of the third period, Mora had gone up to 7-3 and Oskar Stål-Lyrenäs had had time to complete his hat trick.
The match eventually ended 8-4 to Mora.
