Here's a look at Sunday's SDHL games.
Leksand 0 - Djurgården 6
Ida Boman recorded her third straight shutout, captain Brette Pettet scored twice, and Djurgården’s Czech contingent combined for three goals and four assists to sink impotent Leksand 6-0. Pettet opened the scoring early when she batted in a Tereza Plosová pass from the slot. Linnea Natt Och Dag scored on a second period one-timer to make it 2-0 DIF, and then the floodgates opened. First, Linda Vocetkova was handed a gimme when Leksand keeper Ellen Jonsson flubbed a clearing attempt and passed the puck directly to Vocetkova’s stick. Minutes later, Plosová potted a rebound goal on a DIF power play to make it a 4-0 game. Pettet and Plosová each scored once more in the third period as Djurgården cruised to victory. The shutout was Boman’s sixth of the season.
Frölunda 3 - HV71 1
Sydney Brodt scored the game’s opening goal, teammate Michelle Karvinen scored her nineteenth and twentieth goals of the season and Frölunda cruised to victory over hapless HV71 on Sunday afternoon. Both of Karvinen’s goals came after some masterful forechecking by teammate Andrea Dalen, whose two assists gave her eight points (5+3) in her last five games. While Frölunda dominated the first two periods, outshooting their opponents 44-10, HV71 goaltender Lina Van Noort kept the game close, and teammate Elin Svensson tallied to make the final score more respectable. HV was awarded a pair of third period power plays, but could not convert, and the game ended 3-1 in Frölunda’s favor. FHC’s Maja Helge made 23 saves in the win, her team’s fifth straight.
Brynäs 2 - Skellefteå 1 SO
Brynäs outshot Skellefteå by a ratio of 2:1, and spent over nine minutes on the power play, but needed a shootout to finally secure the win. Skellefteå goalkeeper Blanka Škodová, making her second straight start after stoning MoDo to the tune of 35 saves on Friday, flummoxed Brynäs time and again, and finished the evening with 28 saves on 29 shots through regulation and overtime. At the other end of the rink, Brynäs’ Emmy Nordström-Åmark was much less busy, but made the saves she needed to make to force the shootout, where each team’s scorers were equally snakebitten; indeed, took 14 shooters before Brynäs’ Sanni Vanhanen finally scored to give her team the 2-1 win.
SDE 3 - Linköping 2 OT
Linköping clawed their way back from a 2-0 deficit with two late goals, but a determined SDE got the last laugh, scoring in overtime to secure the 3-2 win. After a scoreless first period, SDE’s Liliane Perreault drove the net from below the goal line and squeezed a puck past LHC keeper Ebba Svensson Träff to give her team the lead. Early in the third period, SDE struck again when Michelle Löwenhielm banked a bad angle shot off Svensson Träff for her sixth of the season. With eight minutes remaining in the game, LHC finally got on the board when Sara Hjalmarsson steamed down the right wing boards sniped a shot past Lovisa Berndtsson. Fifty seconds later, Hjalmarsson got involved again when Linköping’s forecheck forced a deep turnover. Hjalmarsson corralled the puck and fired it to Felicia Levin, driving in from the half wall. Levin scored to knot the game at two. The teams traded chances in overtime until SDE’s Emily Nix finished a half-broken play with a slick backhand to earn her team the victory and the extra point.
