Växjö’s strong away record continues – their eighth in a row came against Brynäs.
The form of successful acquisition Kalle Kossila also holds.
– The match in this league suits me well, he says after three new points against Brennas.

And after the break just keep going.
Before meeting Brynäs, Växjöcenter had produced ten points in eight games.
Tonight Cosella scored two goals, played until the last and was behind another away win.

High-scoring series in Växjö
But Växjö scored the only goal of the period so far. Technical goal by Kalle Kossila who kicked (!) the puck two meters high by Anders Lindbäck.
– You saw the puck coming and it’s a situation where you’re just trying to read and respond, he says.
Brynäs got a chance at five for three and just a few seconds later Anton Rödin hit to tie the game.
Dan Sexton was sent off when Brynäs equalized, but the high-scoring American got his revenge a few minutes later when Växjö fired in a new lead. Performed by fellow series cosella.
Miko Manner was satisfied – and not satisfied after 20 minutes.
Good period with bad results. Great performance, probably the best period of the season. Only by continuing to play like this do we have a good chance of winning the game, Brynästränaren tells C More.
Brennas equalized through Samuel Johansson, but it took just two minutes before Kosilla put Växjö ahead.
But Greg Scott tied the score at 3-3 with just over five minutes remaining, the home team’s third goal.
