AIK were under pressure before today's home match, after losing by a whopping 6-2 away to newcomer Östersund in the previous round.

Björklöven, on the other hand, are tipped to be at the top, and therefore also had pressure on themselves to win.

AIK came out the most convincing, and also scored the first goal of the match.

Björklöven-raised William Eriksson scored 1-0 in the power play 15:30 into the first period.

- It is clear that it is special to score against Löven in particular, says the goalscorer in Cmore's broadcast.

Björklöven zeroed

Although Björklöven clearly won the shot statistics, they failed to get a hole in Niklas Lundström in the AIK goal, who accounted for 41 saves.

Instead, Oscar Nord was able to extend the lead, before newly acquired Adam Rockwood scored both 3– and 4–0.

At the same time, Djurgråden defeated Södertälje 4–1.
