The table jumbo HV71 had the lead with 2-1 before the last period after the new acquisition from Frölunda, Radan Lenc, found the right in the middle of the second period.
The team then looked to be heading for a long-awaited victory after losing the last four games.
At 10:09 into the third period, they also made it 3-1 to the crowd's great delight - but that joy was short-lived when shortly afterwards it appeared that Herman Hansson had held on to an FBK defender's stick in connection with the goal.
The receipt came
So instead of 3–1 they were forced to fight to keep their lead, which they failed to do.
Barely 40 seconds later it was equalized through Marcus Nilsson, his second goal of the evening.
- You have to be involved and contribute offensively, that's why I'm here so it's fun, says Nilsson to C More.
But the misery didn't end there.
With 2.25 left to play, the visitors received a penalty after Nilsson was hooked by Sam Vigneault.
A penalty Victor Ejdsell took advantage of.
- I was really keen to put it in with Ejdsell is good at penalties, I don't think he missed a penalty this year so it's better that he gets to step forward and put it in, says Nilsson.
"Bitter right now"
After that, HV couldn't stand up - and after the match it was depressing.
- It is bitter right now, of course.
I think we become a bit cowardly with the puck, we take the red line and lay down and cannot establish any offensive play, but they have to wash over us all the time, says HV71's coach Tommy Samuelsson to C More
