After a promising start to the season for Brynäs and new coach Mikko Manner, the form curve is now pointing downwards.
In the rival meeting with Leksand, the fifth loss came in a row.
71 seconds into the match, Leksand's Oskar Lang opened the home team's goal account, and despite the guest equalizing, they regained the lead before the first period was over.
In the middle of the night, the home team's goal continued to fall in.
Brynäs, who had conceded 20 goals in the last four matches before Thursday night, changed goalkeeper.
But it did not help much.
"Players did not give up"
Leksand won the match 6-1.
- The result may not play the match picture, but we get a cruel dividend.
We take that with us, says Leksand's Calle Själin after the big victory.
Mikko Manner was a disappointment, however.
- It's not about the attitude.
They had a tough night today, but the players did not give up, he says.
