New All-time assist record in Elitserien

17 Oct 2012 | Henrik Lundqvist

When HV71 beat Färjestad 4-3 today, HV's captain Johan Davidsson got an assist and broke Stefan "Skuggan" Nilsson's All-time assist record.

Johan Davidsson got an assist on Marcus Nilson's 2-1 power play goal when HV71 beat Färjestad 4-3. It was Davidsson's 378th assist in Elitserien and he broke the old record of the Luleå legend Stefan Nilsson. The Färjestad players weren't very happy with the goal as they thought that HV71 got the power play because of a diving by Per Ledin.

Jesper Fasth scored twice (1-0 and 3-1) and Rhett Rakhshani scored HV's fourth goal. Marcus Paulsson, Max Görtz and Per Åslund scored for Färjestad.

AIK got an impressing 5-1 win away to last season's champion Brynäs. Daniel Larsson in the net made 38 saves. Joakim Nordström (2+1), Jonas Liwing (1+2) and Fredrik Hynning (1+2) earned three points each. Victor Ahlström also scored a goal. The Norwegian veteran Mads Hansen scored for Brynäs.

Luleå beat MODO 3-2 at home in COOP Arena. The first period ended 0-0. In the second Pavel Skrbek scored 1-0 and Linus Persson 2-0. Per-Åge Skrøder then made it 2-1 at 34:57. Chris Abbott scored his third goal of the season at 48:29 to make it 3-2. A minute later Alexander Steen made it 3-2. The game saw no more goals.
