Both Oskarshamn and the team's forward Antti Suomela extend their impressive streaks.

In a sold-out home arena, the Småländers took their sixth straight win when they defeated Linköping 6-3.

And in all those matches, the 28-year-old Finn has netted.

From a tight angle, Suomela equalized to make it 1-1 halfway into the opening period, assisted by defender Rasmus Bengtsson.

It was Suomela's 35th goal of the season, the most in hockey's top league since Linköping's Mattias Weinhandl in 2008.

- I feel that I can shoot wherever I am and will continue to shoot and hopefully there will be more to pick up, Antti Suomela told C More after the first period break.

And in addition, he is approaching Håkan Loob's goal record.

40 years ago, in the 1982-1983 season, he scored 42 goals in one season, when the league was called the Elitserien and he succeeded in 36 regular season matches.

While 52 games are now played, six rounds remain for Oskarshamn and Suomela.

In the 6–3 victory against LHC, Cameron Brace was the big match winner, the Canadian accounted for a hat trick.
