Game. The crazy trend and stats continue in Lexand.
Seven games in a row without a goal in PP – but win over Linköping nonetheless.
– We have good progress in the team and recovered from Tuesday, says Oscar Lange.
Linkoping was out of his game with five straight defeats against in-form Lieksand, who had won five of their last matches, at Tigira Arena.
Linköping set the tone and sank the home team in the first half.
Now Leksandskassen’s Mantas Armalis and LHC goalkeeper Marcus Högberg both played big and made sure they were goalless after the first half.
trend continued
In the last six matches of the SHL, Leksand did not score a single goal in the game of strength – this is despite a lot of creative players with high qualities.
In total, in the last six matches, they have played almost 23 minutes without scoring a single goal.
The trend towards Linköping continued.
Six minutes into a five-on-four game without creating really dangerous situations or goals.
– We became very relaxed and slow. That could be. When it’s too long, we probably talk a lot about it. We practice a lot in power play. Coaches give feedback, says Lang, but we’re on the ice and have to come up with solutions.
Lexand’s poor game, he finally managed to capitalize on by visiting Linköping when he made it 0-1 at the end of the second half. Vilmus Gallo spins Leksandsbacken Lian Bichsel and puts the disc behind Mantas Armalis. Gallo’s first goal this season and in 34 full games if you go back last season. The Hungarian last scored was on December 2, 2021 at home against Växjö.
Great for finally cracking an egg. Hopefully there will be more. It’s very frustrating not to score a goal at the start of the season, Vilmus Gallo told CMore.
Queenville Champion
At the start of the third inning, Liksand tied. Jon Knuts came straight from the penalty area and was awarded a free kick after a rebound and made it 1-1.
Knuts later participated in Leksand’s main goal when he pushed the ball into Linköping’s defense zone and through a tangled position in Linköping’s goal, Patrik Norén finally managed to push 2-1.
Brock Little took the match to overtime and later a penalty shootout – with John Quinville becoming the biggest champion.
Thus Linkoping amassed its sixth straight loss.
