Unexpected game winner in today’s Elitserien game

15 Oct 2012 | Henrik Lundqvist

Only one game was played in Elitserien tonight. The game winning goal was scored by a junior playing his first game in the Swedish top league.

When HV71 beat Frölunda 3-2 in Scandinavium tonight the winning goal was scored by Anton Bengtsson. Bengtsson belongs to HV's junior team and played his first ever Elitserien game tonight.

"Wonderful. I'll never forget this. I saw that the puck was free in the neutral zone, chose to go in the middle between the defensemen and had a good position. It was just to hit it home", said Bengtsson to C More.

The home team started the game best and after 7 minutes of play HV71's coach Ulf Dahlén had to call a time-out. At 12:22 Frölunda scored 1-0 om the first power play of the game. Four minutes later Rhett Rakhshani tied it off a goalie rebound. In the second period Tommy Kristiansen beat Frölunda's goalie Julius Hudacek for 2-1. At 36:47 Fredrik Eriksson leveled the score again but only 20 seconds later Bengtsson scored the winner.
