Brynäs fell away against Rögle by 1-2.
But it played less role.
After Luleå’s loss, it is clear that the Gävlelaget will be the first to win the basic series in SHL as a newcomer.
Eight points divorced the table Brynäs, who came up to SHL again for the season, to the second Luleå. Thus, only two points were needed against Rögle to secure the victory in the basic series. That was not the case. Rögle won by 2-1, after Brady Ferguson made the decisive goal in the second period. But that was enough.
Brynäs historical achievement
