Djurgården turned it around with a goal fireworks display

Deficit after two periods and on the way to the season's third loss in Hockeyallsvenskan against Björklöven. Then Djurgården turned the tide with a fireworks display – four goals in the final period and a win in the top match with 4–1.

The hidden gem Melvin Wersäll, who turns 20 on Sunday, initiated the turnaround with his equalizer.

Really nice, always fun to score goals. Awesome that we could win, says Wersäll, who scored his first Hockey Allsvenskan goal, to TV4 Play

Just 25 seconds later, Arvid Costmar could make it 2–1 after a defensive home blunder.

When Tyler Kelleher scored 3–1 after 6.11, Djurgården had scored three goals in 3.17.

Björklöven's Axel Ottosson was upset over the collapse in the third period.

I'm damn angry and disappointed. We get heavily penalized in the third period and throw it away, says Ottosson, whose Björklöven gets a chance for revenge when the teams meet in Stockholm on Monday.

Only one point separated the teams in Djurgården's favor before the match, now the Stockholm team took a firmer grip on second place and looks up at series-leading Bik Karlskoga.

Karlskoga leads the series with a five-point margin after a 6–3 win over Tingsryd.

19-year-old Brynäs loanee Hugo Lejon struck and scored four of the goals.

An incredible evening, I actually don't remember when I scored four goals in a match, he says to TV4 Play.
