Six points in six matches.

This is Robin Kovac's result recently in the SHL's basic series.

When Örebro met Malmö on Sunday in Sunday's only SHL match, it was the 24-year-old forward who stayed ahead again until a late decision.

This for Närkelaget who had not played a match in two weeks due to the divided game schedule that covid-19 created this season.

17th goal

Before that, it was Örebro who in the first period had gone up to a 2-0 lead, which the Scanians would later eat up.

Joseph Veleno became the only goal scorer of the middle period before Emil Sylvegård seven minutes from the end equalized in numerical superiority.

The match seemed to go towards extra time and at first each a point, but after an offensively won technique Kovacs got the puck and did not hesitate.

He looked up, saw a gap at goalkeeper Oscar Alsenfelt's one cross and scored his 17th goal of the season.

- It was nice that we could win and we take with us the nice feeling.

We had not played a match in two weeks but still did well, Kovacs told C More after the victory.

Uncertain future for the people of Skåne

With the victory, ÖHK is almost ready for the quarter finals where they have seven points up on chasing Frölunda plus a better goal difference than the Gothenburgers who have two matches left to play.

Malmö in turn will have to fight on to keep a place in the round of 16.
