It's the second time in a week that the team has been shut out.
In the three latest matches, all losses, the team has only scored one goal.
Really damn frustrating. It requires a bit more grit, a bit extra when it's not quite clicking with us, says Skellefteå coach Andreas Falk to TV4 Play.
Skellefteå has gone from championship team to crisis team – championship coach Robert Ohlsson was fired a few weeks ago – in just over half a year and has only won two of its last ten matches.
"Really important"
Rögle has also had a tough autumn, but now it seems to have brightened up a bit. Saturday's win in Skellefteå was the second straight win on the tour up north where Luleå was also defeated on Thursday.
Really nice, a really important win for the team. The game may not be 100 percent, but we find a way to win, says Rögle goalkeeper Christoffer Rifalk who kept his first shutout of the season.
The Kalix-born goalkeeper enjoyed the win up north even more.
The air is good up here so we get the best possible conditions, he says to TV4 Play with a smile.
Everberg on fire
A hot Dennis Everberg, six goals in the last nine matches, and Lukas Ekeståhl-Jonsson scored the goals, both coming in numerical superiority.
Everberg also had an assist on the 2–0 goal.
Rögle passed Skellefteå in the table but still has five points up to a quarterfinal spot.
The Västerbotten team is only ninth, one point behind Rögle.
Modo broke a five-match losing streak at home and won the battle in Västernorrland over Timrå with 4–2.
Series-leading Brynäs is racking up wins and took its fifth straight win after a 5–2 victory over Örebro.
The Gävle team decided – just like against Rögle on Tuesday – with a strong third period where they scored four goals.
Brynäs sharpshooter Jack Kopacka scored two goals and is up to ten full hits.
