Leksand opened strongly and had acquired a 2-0 lead after the first period.

Marek Hrivik put 3-0 in powerplay in the middle of the second period, which made Frölunda wake up to something.

The home team replicated barely a minute later when Simon Hjalmarsson put 1-3.

But they still had to go to the last break in a two-goal deficit despite getting into the match more and more.

Critical

- The last ten are better in the second period.

The first ten are among the worst we have done.

There are five men who stand as bird nests, says Hjalmarsson in C More after the second period.

Frölunda worked their way further into the match when Patrik Carlsson put 2-3 at the beginning of the third period.

But Leksand extended the lead twice thereafter, first through Carter Camper and then Patrik Zackrisson.

Frölunda approached

Frölunda came close but did not reach all the way, the match ended with Leksandsseger, 5-4.

Their sixth straight away win.

- We get a little tired at the end but we win the match.

It is clear that it is strong to come down here and win.

There is good harmony in the squad and it gives energy on the ice, says Leksand captain Patrik Zackrisson in C More after the match.
