Brynäs scores a huge win at the prestigious meeting with Leksand.
The home side won 5-2 after a hat-trick from Nick Olesen.
The classic Gävle meeting in front of an almost complete ERP control yard was on the list.
But there were also two of the weakest teams in the league that were also bottom of the standings.
Brynäs is twelfth and Leksand two places higher.
Before the match there was a difference of five points. Now it’s only twice since the Brinas won 4-2 after JVM forward William Stromgren scored the 4-2 recovery goal with barely six minutes remaining.
The home team got off to the worst start imaginable when Hannes Bjorninen came out 2+2 after 2.31 for a team high.
Leksand took advantage of the situation by scoring 1-0 through Kali Ostman. A goal approved only after a video review showing whether the puck hit the crossbar.
Rejoice immediately for the goal
Ostman, who raised his arms and cheered for the target, was instantly confident.
– actually yes. I didn’t hear the rib sound and then realized it was the inside rib, but you’re always unsure when it takes too long, Ostman tells C More.
Brynäs got the equalizer just five minutes later when Nick Olesen took advantage of a careless Leksand defender.
In the second period, Brynäs grabbed the lead, 3-1.
First Hannes Bjorninen in power play and then Nick Olsen.
But Leksand came back and pulled back with barely four minutes left in the middle of the period through Jesper Kandegård.
– I think it’s a good thing, we’re taking advantage of our positions but it’s important to watch out for their counterattacks, says William Stromgren of Brenas.
It was Stromgren who scored the important 4-2 goal. In an empty cage, Nick Olesen set the final score with his third goal.
