Björklöven racked up wins at the start of Hockeyallsvenskan, but are struggling now.

Against AIK at Hovet, the Umeå team seemed to be heading for a long-awaited win, but despite a two-goal lead late in the third period, they suffered a loss.

Lukas Zetterberg equalized for AIK with less than two minutes left. In the overtime, Oliver Tärnström scored the winning goal in a black-and-yellow counterattack.

I think we played a really good game from start to finish, actually, says the 4–3 scorer to TV4 Hockey.

Table-eight AIK, who hired new-old coach Roger Melin in early December, are on an upward trend.

We've won three in a row now against three good teams, it feels like we're onto something good, says Tärnström.

Björklöven, meanwhile, have played three straight games without a win and are now four points behind series-leading Södertälje, who beat Nybro 4–1 at home.

Just ahead of new table-four "Löven" are also Djurgården (3–2 away against Östersund after penalties) and Karlskoga (3–2 at home against Mora after overtime).
