JÖNKÖPING. The fateful week became a nightmare week for HV71.
Lulea won 5-2 and Jönköping looked to have pushed into the qualification zone at the bottom.
– It’s really bad, it’s too wet, says striker Frederik Forsberg.
In HV71’s three home games this week, there have been only two out of nine points.
Against Lulea, former captain Simon Onerud played his first game of the season after knee surgery.
It also didn’t make any impact when Jönköping’s team came out passive and looked stressed.
Already after the first period, coach Tommy Samuelson felt compelled to change formations.
We didn’t come home as we should. We haven’t won a battle so it’s hard to control the game. Frederick Forsberg says we have to overcome despair.
Luleå, for its part, has taken its third straight pointer in the SHL and can start looking towards playoff places again.
The successful Brendan Shinnimin-Linus Fröberg-Konstantin Komarek series showed the way to the northern bottoms.
Shinemen scorers
With nine minutes left in the match, Lulea led, 2-0.
Jonathan Anderson had plenty of time from behind to deliver an accurate shot.
Brendan Shinnimin got a free center on a neat play from Linus Fröberg and was clinical at the end.
Lulea also rose to a reassuring 4-0 lead in the second half.
In the second period, Brendan Sheenemin drove in a backhand after another delicious play by Linus Froberg.
Tyrväinen tvåmålsskytt
At the end of the match after playing on the box, Juhani Tervainen finished a high shot behind Juni Orteo with full vision.
Johani Tervainen also became top scorer with two goals and scored the last goal into an empty net.
For the home team, 17-year-old Oscar Fisker-Molgaard was required to take the lead and find a gap on Mateusz Ward.
Fredrik Forsberg is further reduced from a tight position on the Lulea goalkeeper after being crossed by Simon Onerud.
HV71 are on for their fourth consecutive home game when Timrå comes to visit on Tuesday’s round.
