Before the turn of the year, Modo was completely superior in the hockey Allsvenskan, and looked to have more or less secured the series victory.

But the form in recent months has been weak, and on Sunday they lost the league lead to Björklöven - who, however, had one more game played.

Tough start

Above all, it has been the away game that has failed, and ahead of tonight's away game against Kristianstad, they had seven straight losses away from Örnsköldsvik.

And it started badly tonight too.

Already after 10.40, the home team led 2–0, and it looked bleak for Modo.

Dissatisfaction with the refereeing effort

But Modo reduced just over four minutes later through Riley Woods, and in the third period they started in earnest - and scored no less than three goals.

The last came in the power play, and Kristianstad's coach Mikael Gath was very unhappy with the referees after the match.

- The players do what they can, but it has to be fair out there.

It is impossible to win when it is the way it is today.

It's absolutely crazy, he told C More.

- There are so many strange verdicts today that go against us.

Karlin: "Very bad"

Modo's coach Mattias Karlin was satisfied with the third period and that the team managed to turn around, but dissatisfied with two-thirds of the game.

- It was very bad the first two periods, he said.

"Going to be number one"

With the victory, Modo leaves Skåne with three nice points, and a reclaimed league lead.

- That's what we're going for (series victory, editor's note).

We've been there most of the season.

Björklöven had to be there for a few days, but now we got it back.

It's a full race.

It's all about being number one, that's what we want to be and we'll do everything we can.

Three rounds remain in the regular season.
