After victory - Linköping's hope for the playoffs lives on

Linköping had four straight wins when the team was forced to interrupt.

After two weeks, the LHC was back - and had to celebrate with a victory.

The team won away with 3-2.

It was goalless in the first period, but in the second it narrowed three times.

Two goals by Rissanen

First 1-0 to Linköping through Patrik Lundh.

A minute later, Rhett Rakhshani equalized for Djurgården.

Before the period was over, Jaakko Rissanen had arranged 2-1 to the LHC.

In the third period, the same Rissanen made it 3-1.

Djurgården got hope in the match when Sebastian Strandberg reduced to 2-3.

But the home team did not come any closer.

Fifth straight victory

It was the LHC's fifth straight win and means that the club has a chance at the playoffs.

The basic series is 52 matches and Djurgården has played 51 of them.

The team has 65 points.

Linköping, which has played 50 matches, stands at 62 points.

This allows the LHC to bypass.
