During the day, Brynäs announced that Mikko Manner had extended his contract with the club.
In the evening, there was a heavy loss at home against the old Oskarshamn, who won 4-1.
Miko Manner came to Brinas before last season and quickly became popular. Before meeting with Oskarshamn, Brenas said Manner had extended the contract for another season, until spring 2024.
There was no fun celebration in the form of a victory in the all-important bottom meeting with Oskarshamn.
exactly the contrary.
Oscarshamn won 4-1 and handed over the jumbo spot. Just like another bottom team, HV71, did last Saturday.
Oskarshamn came to Gävle with just one win in their last five matches and conceded 22 goals.
But against Brynäs, Joe Cannata was closed and defended again.
Two new goals in the power game
And in the power play, the Småländers are the best in the SHL – something Brynäs got to experience.
After just four minutes, the visitors took the lead in numerical superiority. Jerry Smikal and Henk Zohorna sent an open goal to Patrick Karlqvist. A result that has stood the test of time.
– Very good period anyway, good positions we’ll push it there. It’s sad that they scored that goal on the powerplay, but if we keep it up, we’ll probably be able to turn it around in the second and third periods, says Brynäsback Simon Bertilsson for C More.
But things didn’t turn out that way at all.
Oskarshamn increased to 2-0 halfway through the period, and that goal even came with another player on the ice through successful striker Ante Sumela.
And before the period was over, Patrick Karlqvist was able to increase the lead with a penalty kick before Brenas got it 1-3 cut with just over three minutes left.
Brianna didn’t come close to anything. Eight minutes into the third period, Cameron Press increased the score to 4-1.
