From mid-October to the end of December, Djurgården had good home statistics - nine straight victories.

But after that, Dif has lost four games in a row at Hovet - tonight the loss trend was increased to five.

Swinging match

But it was the home team that would set the lead goal.

However, HV71, who are tampas at the bottom of the table, would equalize just minutes later.

And also take over the lead before the end of the first period.

And when the guests extended once again in the second period - Dif coach chose to replace goalkeeper Mantas Armalis with Niklas Svedberg.

- It is probably a way for Robert Ohlsson and Djurgården to try to wake up the team and get a reaction, says commentator Björn Oldeen in C More.

It had an effect

Just over three minutes later, the home team reduced to 2-3 and it did not take long before Dif equalized to 3-3.

But when the second period was played, HV had once again taken the lead to 3-4.

And the match ended with a HV71 victory, 5-4. 

- I think a few goals backwards.

We are bad in the game without a puck, says Dif coach Robert Ohlsson in C More.
