Malmö has lost the last five matches against Rögle - but tonight they broke the negative trend.
The team took the lead after four minutes through Emil Sylvegård and Fredrik Händemark then determined the final result to 3-2.
- I think we play in a mature and good way in third, Händemark says to C more.
Decided with five minutes left
It was a rolling and even match, where the league leaders Rögle had turned to 2-1 a bit into the second period.
But Malmö, with three victories in the back, equalized seconds later.
With five minutes left in the match, Händemark stayed ahead and scored the decisive 3-2 goal.
- Four straight victories is nice to end with, he says.
Players disappear to the NHL
Händemark is expected to disappear to North America and the San Jose Sharks organization as soon as a start date for the NHL is set.
First, training camp awaits where he will try to take a place in the squad for the coming season.
- I hope I take a shirt and I think so.
I believe in myself and I think I have a good chance if I play as I usually do, he says.
For Rögle, it was the second straight home loss - and the second home loss of the entire season.
For their zorro specialist Nils Höglander, games in the NHL are most likely also waiting and it may have been his last match in the SHL.
