Decided the thriller with a "Zorro" goal

Just over three minutes into overtime at home against Djurgården, Södertälje's Egor Polin settled the thriller in Hockey Allsvenskan with a spectacular "Zorro" goal. Nice that it worked out this time, says Polin after the 4-3 win.

Behind the goal, Polin placed the puck on the blade and then drew it into the first cross behind the chanceless Djurgården goalkeeper Viktor Andrén.

It's fun to get the chance in overtime. Then it's something you practice every now and then. It's fun that it worked this time, he says to TV4 Play after the 4–3 win.

He is asked if he has succeeded before.

In my junior years, it has probably worked some time, says the 20-year-old with a smile.

Djurgården led in the goal protocol almost the entire game, but Colby Sissons' goal 7:32 into the third period only gave one point. Albert Wikman equalized to 3–3 after 10:06, and in the extension, Egor Polin stepped forward.

Södertälje is in second place in Hockey Allsvenskan with 18 points after seven rounds – two points behind Björklöven, who beat bottom-placed Tingsryd with 4–2. Djurgården is fifth with 14 points.
