AIK's upset – won over the league leader

AIK sensationally won over series-leading Bik Karlskoga in HockeyAllsvenskan. "The Gnaw" scored five straight goals and won 5–1. At the same time, Mora took brutal revenge on Björklöven.

Bik Karlskoga was surprisingly outclassed at Hovet in Stockholm.

Coach Dennis Hall meant that humility was lacking.

There is no one who is satisfied with this, it is too bad. Period, said Hall to TV4 Play.

Bik Karlskoga will still go on Christmas vacation as league leaders, one point ahead of Björklöven.

There was an eight-place and 29-point difference between the league leaders and ninth-placed AIK.

But it didn't matter this evening.

Bik Karlskoga took the lead through Måns Krämer in a numerical superiority – but then AIK scored five straight goals.

Simon Åkerström equalized with just eleven seconds left of the first period in numerical superiority, and in the second period, AIK pulled away after goals by Gerry Fitzgerald and Oskar Magnusson, the latter in numerical inferiority.

AIK earned points in three straight matches after coach Markus Åkerblom was fired, but last week was really tough for new-old Roger Melin with losses in the derby against Djurgården and against bottom-of-the-table Östersund.

Now, however, Melin and his team bounced back.

Mora took a gruesome revenge for the 0–11 debacle earlier this fall in Umeå. This evening, it was a 4–1 win over Björklöven.

We played a really good away game, says forward Gabriel Säll, who contributed an assist.

He was, however, in the spotlight for a point marking of "Löven" star Marcus Nilsson in a box play.

He is the best in the league in that position, so we had to do something. I have never received such a direct instruction, I thought he was joking, said Säll about assistant coach Tomas Skog's directive.

Mora climbed to sixth place in the table.
