Mora came to the Hockey Allsvenskan meeting with four straight losses and 4-21 in goal difference.

It didn't show at first.

Gustav Salmi-Lilja gave his sports-wise and economically troubled club the lead already after 3.11.

A sleepy start by us where we don't get any sharpness or pace in the game and Mora gets a well-deserved 1-0, says Henrik Eriksson in the first period break to TV4 Play about Södertälje's questionable start.

Tuohimaa's important save

SSK improved, but the payoff didn't come. Instead, Max Martin scored 2-0 early in the second period for Mora behind a screened Frans Tuohimaa. Mora was extremely close to getting in a third puck shortly after, but Tuohimaa parried Kalle Kratz's breakaway. A match-deciding save.

Södertälje reduced to 1-2 just minutes later through Egor Polin in 5-on-4 play.

Penalties cost. In the next numerical advantage, Sebastian Dyk equalized – and with 2.01 left of the middle period, Albert Wikman slammed in 3-2 for the series two from the blue line.

Fifth straight for Karlskoga

But Mora had more to give. The third straight early period goal made it 3-3 through Kristoffer Gunnarsson.

Karlskoga has really picked up speed. 3-1 at home against Vimmerby was the fifth straight three-pointer and the club is shadowing Björklöven and Södertälje.

Series-leading Björklöven worked at home against Kalmar but won in the end with 4-2. The duel AIK-Oskarshamn, two clubs with ambitions, ended with a 5-2 win for the away team and Oskarshamn is fourth in the series.
