Modo has set its sights on an SHL return, and on Wednesday they strengthened the squad with Brynäs forward Daniel Mannberg who has over 400 matches in the top league under his belt.
But it was another new acquisition that was behind most of the big win against Björklöven, namely Markus Modigs.
Did 2 + 2
29-year-old Modigs, who came from Oskarshamn before the season, scored two assists and one goal before the first period was over.
A period that Modo won 4-1 after falling behind (Daniel Rahimi).
After a goalless second period, Björklöven made one last effort and with three minutes left, Gustav Possler reduced.
But this was Modos and Vimmerbysonen Modig's night, which a minute later decided the rival meeting with a 5-2 goal in an empty net.
The victory was the Ö-vik team's fifth straight and after eleven games played, they are six points behind the table HV71.
