Kristianstad barely managed to stay in the hockey allsvenskan last year.

This season began with six straight losses before the winners began to fall in.

Against the table HV71, a strong Kristianstad was on its way to the fifth three-pointer in a row.

Six minutes into the first period, they had acquired a 2-0 lead after goals from Malte Sjögren and Gustav Olhaver.

The Jönköping team picked up the disadvantage at the beginning of the midnight, but shortly after the equalizer, it was again two goals behind after a new goal by Sjögren.

Two goals last minute

The lead then stood until just under a minute of the third period remained.

But the big favorite HV71 picked goalkeeper Filip Larsson and first made 3-4 before Måns Lindbäck put 4-4 with five seconds left of regular time.

The extra time was goalless and then the Jönköping team completed the turn on penalties, where both two-goal shooter Fredrik Forsberg and Taylor Matson outsmarted Kristianstad's Olof Lindbom.
