A star-studded Malmö has had a difficult season in the SHL and parks in twelfth place in the table.

On Monday, the board got enough and fired coach Joakim Fagervall.

So when Leksand visited Skåne on Tuesday, the team was instead led by the former assistant coaches Pär Styf and Tomas Kollar.

But nothing went further.

Sagittarius King first to 20

Leksand took the lead in the first period through Emil Heineman and just under a minute into the middle period, Max Véronneau shot in second in a quick game reversal.

He thus became the first player in the league to reach 20 goals this season.

A wildly fighting Malmö tried and tried but failed to outsmart goalkeeper Kasimir Kaskisuo until 2.33 remained of the match through Carl Söderberg.

Then it was too late.

The home team could not find a way to equalize but Lekand was able to win 2-1.
