Djurgården, who finished sixth in SDHL's regular season last year, suffered a 3-5 loss against last year's finalist Brynäs yesterday, but bounced back quickly.
Against Leksand today, the Stockholm team turned a 0-1 deficit into a win, 4-1.
- It was a sour loss yesterday, but we still felt that we played well against Brynäs, who should be a top team.
We brought the good stuff with us today and it led to a win, says Lova Blom, who scored the 4-1 goal in an empty net.
Three of the goals came from the team's Swedish talents Linnea Adelbertson, 18, Maria Lindberg, 19, and the aforementioned Blom, also 19.
- It's just fun.
We must also be able to show the way.
It is good that young players step up, she says.
The three points mean that the team is at the top, just two points behind runner-up Brynäs after seven games played.
- We have a good team, no talk about it.
We have good imports who have come in and shown the way from the start and many who are left for from the season.
The feeling is great, it's a fantastic group.
