Malmö in the driver's seat in the anxiety qualifier after two quick goals

It had stormed properly in Brynäs before the qualifiers.

Not only that the Gävle team had a string of losses, the other day the club announced that they are firing their entire coaching staff with Mikko Manner at the helm.

In came the profiles Ove Molin, Jörgen Sundquist and Anders "Masken" Carlsson.

But it had no effect in the first match anyway.

Malmö was the strongest and could score both 1-2 and 1-3 in 23 seconds at the beginning of the second period.

Fredrik Händemark and Lukas Wernblom scored two goals each in the match.

It was Wernblom's first full hit in the SHL for the Skåne club.

- Yes, it was on time, so it was nice.

It felt like we were mentally ready, a good match from us, says Lukas Wernblom in C More.

Now Malmö leads 1-0 in the match series, which is played in the best of seven.

Something worrying for Malmö, however, is that point king Marcus Sylvegård retired in the match.
