With Tuesday evening's victory, HV71, the jumbo in SHL last season, turned a 0–2 deficit in the match series into a 4–2 win in the best of seven against the series' next jumbo.
We as a team take it seriously, ease up a bit and realize that we must take responsibility for solving this – each and every one of us in there. And I think we do, says Petersson to TV4 Play.
I'm happy. Damn, it feels great, says HV's Danish goalkeeper Frederik Dichow who played a great game.
For the Jönköping team, it was the second year in a row that the team qualified to stay in SHL. Last season, IK Oskarshamn was defeated with 4–3 in matches in the relegation playoffs.
Modo's stay in SHL lasted two years. The Örnsköldsvik team was promoted to the top league in the 2022–2023 season after defeating Djurgården in the HockeyAllsvenskan final.
It's a team that should be relegated and one that should stay. Unfortunately, it's us who are relegated, says Modo's coach Mattias Karlin to TV4 Play.
