AIK got off to a dream start in quarter-final number one.
Zion Nybeck scored 1-0 himself in the power play, then he was behind 2-0 which Oscar Nord was last on. That goal also came on the power play.
AIK invited Mora into the match when they gave Fabian Ilestedt a free position against Bibeau, which the Mora forward managed in the best way, seen through Mora’s eyes.
In the second period, AIK’s special teams would play a decisive role again, this time it was the box play formation that would be responsible for the goal. Christoffer Björk was given an open position and there was no doubt. Shots hit the roof and AIK’s two-goal lead was restored.
– We applied high pressure and got a good position, nice that it went in, said Björk about the goal.
Moras Måns Carlsson was dissatisfied with the team’s play in the power play:
– Minus percentage In special teams. Then you don’t lead any matches. It’s too bad. Our power play is completely under the ice. Boxplay we let in two. It’s just too bad. Hope we don’t get any more power plays, he said jokingly after two periods.
AIK was able to keep away in the third period, thanks in large part to Antoine Bibeau, who came up big in his goalkeeping game and with three minutes left, Christoffer Björk sent 4-1 into an open cage.
– In general, it’s pretty good, special teams will be decisive. Sylvassa in the power play, said Anton Blomqvist, who was also satisfied with his team’s physical play.
– We are doing very well (physically). I love it, he added.
But it was not only positive for AIK this Saturday. In the second period, they suffered a hard blow when Oscar Nord limped off the ice.
AIK leads the match series with 1-0.
