However, Rögle got a point from the away meeting with Linköping after picking up the deficit twice again, before falling on penalties.
A penalty shootout where Henrik Törnqvist became a big hero for the home team.
- Great that we could get the extra point, we have struggled to find ways to make it roll in the right direction.
We are circumstantial, hesitant and Rögle is doing well in the third period.
We struggle and toil but the structure looks bad.
We are satisfied with the score, says Linköping's coach Klas Östman.
For Rögle's part, it was an all the more difficult evening, which is now down to a negative qualifying place after tonight's loss.
- We definitely had a good third period, and overall a good effort.
A few bounces in our direction and we could have taken all three points.
I'm disappointed with the result but proud of the boys, says coach Cam Abbott to C More after the game.
