Before tonight's clash with Oskarshamn, Växjö had won all six SHL matches against the guests.

However, it would not be a seventh time.

Växjö scored two quick goals

One minute and twenty seconds had been played of the first period when Emil Pettersson coaxed the puck into goal.

And just over two minutes later, the increase would come to 2-0.

But the visitors would reduce at the end of the period - that when Rosdahl sent in 2-1.

And in the middle of the second period, Lance Bouma took advantage of a goalkeeper return and Orskarshamn had equalized.

Bouma has now scored in four straight games.

The guests turned

In the third period, John Dahlström steered in the lead goal - he set his 14th goal this season - and gave Oskarshamn the lead against Växjö.

But Växjö player Fredrik Karlström would, with five minutes left of the match, set the equalizer - and the match went to extra time.

There, Fredrik Olofsson decided for Oskarshamn.

- It is important to be patient.

Växjö is a good team, and I think we ride out the match and find a way.

There is not much more to say, says match hero Olofsson to C More.

Växjö, who had a chance to go up in a lone league lead, is currently placed as a shared number one with Rögle, missed the chance.

Oskarshamn, on the other hand, won their first Småland derby.
