Luleå takes a grip of Elitserien

HV71 - MoDo 1-5
HV71 got some key players like Daniel Larsson and Johan Davidsson back from injury, perhaps they should have stayed of the ice as HV71 did a very poor game and lost 1-5. MoDo won both the first and second period 2-0 and Rob Schremp scored two goals and one assist when MoDo took three very important points in the chase of a playoff spot. Per-Åge Skrøder scored 1+2 and now has scored 47 points, Nicklas Danielsson also keeps on scoring and now has 50 points after two new points today.

Skellefteå - Djurgården 2-3 OT
Skellefteå chasing the first place in league against Djurgården who is fighting for survival and to avoid the relegation round. It was a better game than you could expect.  Kristoffer Ottosson gave Djurgården the lead halfway through the game but goals by Holloway and Granberg turned the game around in the favour of the home team. Petter Granberg's goal was his first ever in Elitserien. But Djurgården tied the game when Philip Holm made his second goal of the season. Ottosson got his second point of the game with the assist. Both teams had good chances to score the winner in both regular time and overtime but the game went to shootout and there Patrik Cehlin scored the game winning goal and took two very important points to Djurgården.

Linköping - Frölunda 1-5
After Djurgården's win Linköping really needed some points out of this game. But they were never close instead it was Frölunda who made a very solid away game and won 5-1 after scoring the five first goals of the game. "It feels like we are playing against a plexi glass. We have an insecurity and we have to trust each other in a better way", Linköping's head coach Harald Lückner said after the game.

Luleå - Färjestad 4-1
Another win for Luleå that looks really good for winning the regular season leading the league with five points with four rounds left to play. Johan Harju gave Luleå the lead in the first but Mikael Johansson tied it in the second but just one and a half minute later Luleå scored the important 2-1 goal by Mattias Persson. Färjestad was strong in the third period and had 13-5 in shots but Sebastian Enterfeldt made it 3-1 for Luleå on a power play and later 4-1 was scored when Färjestad had pulled the goalkeeper for an extra attacker.

Växjö - Brynäs 1-2
Växjö is now under the playoff line again after losing to Brynäs when MoDo won their game. Växjö took the lead in the first period by Tomi Kallio but Sebastian Wännström tied the game in the second period. Jakob Silfverberg assisted on the goal and scored a point for the eleventh game in a row. Joachim Rohdin scored the game winner for Brynäs 5:37 into the third period. Växjö had some good chances to tie the game but Johan Holmqvist made some good saves to keep his team in the lead.
