Modo defeated the tipped top team Södertälje, which had a tough season start, with 3–1. All the goals came in the third period.
It was the seventh win in eight matches for the team that was relegated from SHL in the spring.
Måns Carlsson, who shot the match-winning 2–1 goal, was pleased with the series lead.
It's probably positive. As the game has looked from the outside, it has not been a hundred, so somewhere it's a strength that we lead the series, he says to TV4 Play.
Björklöven took the lead away against Kalmar who, however, came back and made three straight goals. When Gabriel Olsson set 4–2 on his own rebound with just over 3.30 left, the match was won – and Björklöven's first loss a fact.
I don't think we quite get into it. The season start has been very good, but today we don't come up to full capacity, says Björklöven's coach Magnus Bogren.
Kalmar is third, five points behind the leading Modo.
