Before the season, he was ranked as one of the series' top new acquisitions by the experts, but Mathias Bromé has not lived up to expectations at all initially.
Before Tuesday night's meeting with Skellefteå, he had only produced one goal and two assists in ten games despite plenty of playing time in the power play.
A result that caused coach Niklas Eriksson to do some cleaning in the first power play five.
Instead of a position on the left, Bromé had to take a seat in front of the goalkeeper and it turned out to be a stroke of genius.
Bromé had a big part in Rodrigo Abol's 1-1 draw when he made sure that Örebro goalkeeper Jhonas Enroth couldn't see Abol's finish.
- He played in front of goal three years ago and he is good there.
It's easy to score when the goalkeeper doesn't see anything, says Abols to C More.
Then Bromé made it 2-1 just off the pace at the start of the second period.
- Incredibly nice, a random puck that bounces in front of the box and you are there and hang it there, that's the kind of goals you need now, says Bromé, who got a little happy after his second goal of the season.
- It's been a long time since you cheered properly.
It was a hell of a relief and it's a lot off the shoulders.
In the end, Örebro was able to win the match 6–3 after they, among other things, scored two goals in a four-on-four game in the third period.
A bit sour for Skellefteå's 18-year-old back talent Elias Salomonsson, who scored his first two SHL goals this evening but despite that didn't get to be the hero of the match.
