Tough loss for Timrå

24 Jan 2013 | Henrik Lundqvist

In Elitserien Timrå needs all points they can get. Tonight they fought bravely against Färjestad in Karlstad but allowed the deciding goal just 34 seconds before the end. Frölunda easily defeated Brynäs while Rögle needed a shoot-out to beat Linköping.

Färjestads BK - Timrå IK 4 - 3

Timrå was down 2-0 and 3-2 but managed to tie the game twice in the desperate struggle to win points that can save them from Kvalserien. With 34 seconds remaining Färjestad's Marcus Paulsson scored his second goal of the game and Färjestad won all three points. Paulsson had also opened the scoring at 01:25. Nine minutes later Jack Connolly made it 2-0. Anton Wedin scored 2-1 at 19:25 and four minutes into the second period Timrå's returning forward Matt Murley scored the equalizer in his first game. Chris Lee took Färjestad back to the lead at 47 minutes but a minute later Andreas Molinder tied it again. Paulsson scored the game-winner close to Joakim Lundström's post. A shot he maybe should have saved.
