With just over two minutes left of the first period, Pilö got stuck in the ice with one skate and got his leg under him.

The 25-year-old defenseman screamed out in pain and was rolled out on a stretcher for further transport to the hospital after a while.

Timrå's team doctor Christian Rydin tells Expressen:

It's a ankle injury. The examination is not finished. We're waiting for answers, but we fear it's a longer absence.

Teammate Simon Forsmark was shaken in the first intermission.

It's just to hope that it goes well, that he recovers quickly, says Forsmark to TV4.

The match was interrupted and the first intermission was brought forward.

Timrå won in the end with 4–0 and Pilö had an assist before the nasty injury.
