Four shots in the first, one in the second, and three in the final period.

Top team Luleå didn't get the game to work at home against Brynäs.

There was low energy and we didn't manage to create it during the game either, says Berglund to TV4 Play.

The coach was thoroughly disappointed after the loss, and despite few shots on goal, thoughts revolved around the team's defense.

We haven't been consistent in our defense. That's something we need to work on. The offense and goaltending have helped us get points, but clearly we need to get it right with the defensive play and tactical responsibility, he says.

At the same time, it's one game out of 52. We'll make sure this is a one-time thing.

Brynäs' Johan Larsson scored 1-0 in the first period, and in the second, Theo Lindstein and Victor Söderström extended the lead and secured the win.

Furthest back in goal, Ludvig Persson got his first SHL career shutout.

We played incredibly well defensively, it's just looking at the shots. We sacrificed so much, it's ridiculously good. We played stably and it's just thanks to the team, he says to TV4 Play.
