With only three seconds left of the initial period, young Victor Stjernborg stepped into the action by shooting in Växjö's lead goal.

Experienced teammate Robert Rosén rejoiced with the 17-year-old.

- Incredibly fun for him, he impresses with his incredibly mature game considering that he is so young, says Rosén about Stjernborg.

Got the historic puck

And of course the teammates made sure that the young goal scorer got the puck home.

- I got it in the locker room after the match, it will be on the shelf at home, says Victor Stjernborg.

In the second period, Brynäs' experienced forward Patrik Berglund equalized to 1-1.

After that, one of the gold heroes from 2018, Robert Rosén, stepped into the action and netted in powerplay.

But despite that, strong Brynäs was seen for a long time with a chance to take the team's third straight victory this week.

In the third period, however, Gävlelaget's strength tired and Växjö was able to fight down its opponent.

- That's how you can describe it.

We did not make a very good match, it felt like we were running a lottery out there.

But we are basically a good team and could find a way to win, says Robert Rosén.

Another of Växjö's former gold heroes who has now returned is Andrew Calof.

The Canadian made a double impression in the goal record.

Chad Billins reduced for Brynäs before Växjö's defender Juuso Vainio determined the final result.

"Long way"

Växjö is the team that chases closest behind league leader Rögle in the limping SHL table.

Smålanders increasingly look like a serious gold candidate later this spring.

But Robert Rosén has been there before and emphasizes that it is a long way to go.

- Everything is decided at the end of the season, that's when it's important to top the form and be consistent.

It will be tight between many good teams, says Rosén.

- But we have shown that we are a top team and have many ingredients in our squad.

Of course we want to be with all the way this spring, he continues.

Young Victor Stjernborg has for the day played his way into one of Växjö's four chains and does not hesitate with his thoughts regarding the goal in the future.

- I get a lot of help from my teammates, it feels safe.

We will try to go all the way, says the 17-year-old.
