Linköping was four points ahead of the table, but with four matches more played than Brynäs who is in the qualifiers.
In other words, a loss had made the situation very tough for Linköping in the battle for safe ground in the SHL.
And for a long time it looked like that would be the case.
Brynäs seemed to have good control of the match after they turned 0-1 to 2-1.
But in the third, the LHC turned the match around quickly.
Immediately after a technical, Niko Ojamäki was able to equalize with a shot in the left cross, and only a minute and a half later the next goal came from the Finn's club.
That time on a turnaround where a trailing Ojamäki got the puck from Broc Little and then could outsmart Samuel Ersson.
"I do not care who scores"
Linköping eventually won 4-2 after a goal in an empty cage.
And now Linköping has a seven point margin down to Brynäs in the qualifiers, but with four more matches played.
- We are playing well as a group right now.
Everyone knows what to do, it's easy to play now, Ojamäki tells C More.
That it was he who got to decide the match was not something that played a big role for the Finn.
- I do not care who scores goals.
The most important thing is that the team wins.
