Pressured Leksand threatens to bottom out, really at war

Bottom-placed Leksand is starting to move into safer territory in the SHL standings after taking its third straight victory since the Olympic break, a 1–0 away win over Linköping.

Lukas Vejdemo scored the only goal of the game, 12:48 into the second period. Goalkeeper Filip Larsson saved all of LHC's shots in the game and kept LHC scoreless.

We're keeping it really tight at the back, really fighting and believing in this, Larsson said to TV4 Play.

Leksand, which has been in crisis since the beginning of the ice hockey season, has taken eight of a possible nine points in the last three SHL matches since the Olympic break ended last week.

With seven rounds left in the SHL regular season, the team is still last in the table, with 46 points. But the gap to 13th-placed HV71 and 12th-placed Örebro above the line is now only four points, even though Leksand has a clearly worse goal difference.
