HV71 started the Hockeyallsvenskan brilliantly and has long topped the table.

But lately, the team has ended up in a real slump.

Before tonight's match against Västerås, the team had three straight losses.

And the match against Västerås developed into a real nightmare for the Jönköping team.

After the first period, the home team led 4-0.

In the second period, HV's collapse continued and Västerås scored three more goals.

And the score after half the match was 7-0.

At the end of the second period, Marcus Davidsson was able to set a consolation goal and reduce to 7-1.

- I think we play Västerås right in the hands.

We have to play for the club brand and show that we want to be here.

We have to take change for change and do the best we can, show a little fucking embrace, says HV71's Måns Lindbäck to C More.

The match is in progress.
