Orebridge. Örebro continues to be a ghost to Leksand.
6-3 means the eighth victory in the last ten matches between the two teams.
– The dampers were wide open, it was going really fast in there, says Örebro full-back Markus Hardegard.
It was action packed and delicious goals in front of a sold out arena on Saturday night.
Despite being eight players short, Örebro managed to take his fourth consecutive three-pointer in the SHL.
The special teams shake-up came in the second half when Marcus Hardegard scored 3-1 on square play and Matthias Broome scored 4-1 on power play.
Matthias Broome had ten matches without goals behind him before this game.
Marcus Hardegard also scored 5-2, that was his second and third goal in Örebro.
Marcus Hardegard and Oliver Eckelend each scored twice for the home team.
Jonas Enroth made a massive save on John Quenneville’s penalty kick, making it 5-3 with 17 seconds left in the second period.
“Situations are dead”
After two consecutive throws at Lulea and Timra, there was a loss for the third game in a row.
– We started fast and crazy in our attack, but we missed opportunities and exaggerated positions. Defensively, we were very weak around the penalty area, says Bjorn Hellqvist, Leksand’s head coach.
After the goal 5-2, Leksand replaced goalkeeper Mantas Armalis with Casimir Casciso.
Lexand defender Jonas Ahnilov was forced to retire in the first period.
Since Leksand moved to the First League again, Örebro has eight wins in nine home matches.
Leksand is now on match leave until Boxing Day, while Örebro plays at home against Lulea on Tuesday.
