The match in front of a sold-out Hovet, 8,098 spectators, didn't even have time to start when it was postponed due to pyrotechnics.
According to TV4 Play's broadcast, pyrotechnics were lit in Södertälje's heel section before the match and the section had to be emptied and inspected before the match could start.
When it finally got underway about 20 minutes late, it was Södertälje who was the hotter team.
AIK had 16 points more and was in fifth place, five places ahead of Södertälje.
But on the ice it seemed to be the opposite.
In the second period, the visitors won the game 12–3 and made the decisive move by going from 2–1 to 5–2.
Prestige acquisition Patrik Zackrisson, who left Leksand this summer, scored one of the goals - his only third of the season.
Filip Engarås accounted for three points, one goal and two assists.
Just hours before the release, Länstidningen wrote that Södertälje SK had alerted the municipality about financial problems and the risk of bankruptcy.
Another unexpected result in the restart after the Christmas break: the reigning league leaders Björklöven fell 3–6 at home to Östersund. It was only Björklöven's third clean sheet in 30 games so far. The Umeå team leads the series by a ten-point margin over second-placed Kalmar.
