Svensson was injured by a skate that, according to TV4, appeared to hit his face when Örebro's Patrik Puistola lost his balance and fell to the ice.

Ville Svensson made his way to the home team's bench where he received treatment.

The match referee decided to bring the period break forward; 1:37 remained in the first period when the accident occurred.

Ville Svensson's condition is unclear.

It looked a little uncomfortable; you could see some blood on the chin and just below, team captain Joel Persson told TV4 after the match.

We hope Ville is well, I don't actually know more than that now, he continued.

Brogan Rafferty pushed Växjö to victory with his 3-2 overtime goal.
