To say the least, there were mixed feelings in the Södertälje camp after tonight's victory against Modo, who before tonight's round led the Hockeyallsvenskan.
Joy, after the team won 4–3 on penalties and advanced to third place in the table.
Carried out on a stretcher
But far more difficult feelings after star forward Linus Videll, who scored the 2-1 goal (his 27th of the season, tying him to first in the league in scoring) was tipped in by Theodor Niederbach early in the third period .
Videll was left lying on the ice and carried out on a stretcher, and Niederbach received a match penalty for boarding.
Fourth straight Modo loss
How serious Videll's injury is is still unclear, but C More reported a while after the incident that Videll was up and moving under his own power, and according to Södertälje's press manager, Videll should "under the circumstances be fine".
For Modo, it was the team's fourth straight loss, but the team still maintains the league lead.
However, the distance to the chasing Björklöven is only two points, after "Löven" beat Djurgården 3-2 after penalties.
However, Modo has one less game played.
