Today it was Djurgården who was defeated and that with 1-0. Before the match, the LHC was just over the line that decides which teams go directly to the quarterfinals and which are allowed to play in the round of 16. Djurgården was just below. In other words, it was a six-point match that was played in Stångebrohallen on Sunday afternoon. And that it was two even teams that met was clear with all the desired clarity. The team showed a compact defensive game spiced with skilled goalkeepers as the last outposts, for the LHC's part Joren van Pottelberghe. In close and even matches, it is often special teams that decide and this was also the case in this match. In powerplay, Hannes Samuelsson's game eye became the tongue in cheek when he with a shot for control found Emil Westerlund's club and roasting Westerlund did as he usually does - goals. A nice powerplay goal and an important goal at a stage where the match really stood and weighed. At the end of the match, the LHC washed out some nice chances, among other things thanks to a nice break by Oscar Carmefeldt but also Djurgården had opportunities to equalize. The closest came via a post shot that van Pottelberghe did not really have control over. But when the gunpowder smoke settled, the LHC was the winner and they did it thanks to a flawless defensive effort. Thanks to the victory, the LHC consolidates its place among the top four when we now take a national team break. From LHC J18, Oliver Horrsell (back), Anton Björkman (back) and Arvid Degerstedt (forward) go on national team assignments.
