SHL
Rögle – Linköping 6–4 (1–1, 3–1, 2–2)
After a long wait for SHL ice hockey, it was 11:08 before the premiere meeting at Catena Arena began in earnest. An Adam Edström charge on Linköping striker Jarno Kärki caused discomfort and a penalty in the game against Edström.
The boxing game that followed, Rögle coped well. But when Oula Palve was left alone in front of Christoffer Rifalk in goal, it was immediately reduced, 0-1.
The equalizer took just one minute and eleven seconds. Then it was Dennis Everberg who positioned himself and guided Eric Gelina’s shot. 1-1 and then started the SHL season with a message.
– It feels good out there. “I think we played better than the guys in the first period, so it was unpleasant that they had to go 1-0,” Dennis Everberg tells Cmore at the first period break.
7.26 in the middle round, it was time for Simon Ryfors to spring into action. After a pass from Adam Tambellini, Ryfors parked in front of goal in a power play and lashed at 2-1.
Just three minutes later it was 3-2. Linköping’s draw, also in powerplay, was followed by a response from Adam Tambellini 15 seconds later. Then Eric Gelina’s 4-2 bomb also came with one more man on the ice. Waiter: Adam Tambellini, his third point of the evening.
The Canadian’s prompt delivery is welcome and an extremely important message to Rögle that the great forward can handle the move from Allsvenskan to SHL. Last season, he scored 63 points in 37 games in the MoDo jersey. A new acquisition that is expected to produce.
– We have to squeeze it a little. “I think we give away too many records,” Simon Ryfors tells Cmore on the second break of the period. The best defense is offense, so I think we should continue to have the puck.
In the third period, Taylor Matson gave guests a ticket to the game when he first suspended two minutes for a catch and shortly after another two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. Five against four games for Linköping for more than three and a half minutes. A sequence that Rögle still solved.
Instead, Dennis Everberg responded just over a minute later by sending the puck 5-2. Brilliantly assisted by, just that, Adam Tambellini.
In the end, the locals were the winners at 6-4 after two reductions by Linköping in the space of 38 seconds. But overall, an impressive presentation from Rögle and Adam Tambellini.
