The 30-year-old decided the home match against Björklöven, his former club, with the 4-3 goal with 2.40 left in the opening game in the hockey Allsvenskan.
— It’s nice, it’s the best thing there is to score. The fact that it then came to the situation that it does, that does not make matters worse, he tells TV4 Play.
1.33 minutes earlier, John Norman equalized at 3–3 in a match that had turned a few times before that.
Djurgården lost 2–0 to 2–3 – two goals and a total of three points from Maxime Fortier – before the home team secured the three points at the end of the game.
“Justice prevailed even though we had the lead at the end,” says Björklöven’s coach Viktor Stråhle.
Djurgården, Björklöven and Brynäs – who won 5-2 at home against AIK – are tipped to be the clubs that settle for SHL games next season.
