This season, an SHL team will go straight from the country’s highest ice hockey series unranked against an Allsvenskan hockey team. Instead, teams 13 and 14, after the end of the regular season, will meet in the best of seven games and where the loser will be relegated.
Right now, Malmö is one of the teams facing an anxious qualification. True, there is more than half of the basic series left (52 rounds), but the Scanians are firmly rooted like a jumbo jet.
Only got 15 points
Malmö have only had 15 points from 21 games and the loss at home to Skellefteå was the team’s sixth consecutive loss, of which five have come in regulation time.
– We do perfectly well in defensive play. We probably thought a lot that it would be good, so we probably forgot that we would do something in the future, goalkeeper Oscar Alsenfelt tells C More.
The last time Malmö won in SHL was on November 21 and then it was Skellefteå who was beaten on the visiting ice (4-3). The people of Skåne also won the match with the Västerbotten team at home (3-2).
It was also long even in the third meeting between the teams. Until 13:05 of the second half, they were scoreless, but then Andreas Wingerli put the visiting team 1-0 in numerical superiority.
Just over three minutes later, the 2-0 also came to Skellefteå when Toumas Kiiskinen intercepted a random puck off Oscar Alsenfelt in the home area.
Lindström’s point 400
In the third half, Malmö raised something, but if Gustaf Lindvall did not act stable in the away goal, the hosts failed in the decisive moments when situations arose.
In the final stage, coach Joakim Fagervall removed goalkeeper Alsenfelt, but the numerical superiority ended with Jesper Frödén putting it 3-0 in an empty cage. Joakim Lindström provided two assists and now has 400 points for Skellefteå, after 19 points from 18 games.
Skellefteå is currently in the quarter-finals with her 37 points.
