Rögle BK dominated Luleå HF with a 6-0 win at home, extending Luleå's losing streak to three games and a 0-12 goal differential over that span. Luleå coach Thomas Berglund highlighted the team's struggles with injuries and performance. The loss dropped Luleå to ninth place, just four points above the relegation zone.
The match took place in Ängelholm, where Rögle quickly asserted control. They won the first period 2-0, then exploded for three goals in the second to lead 5-0 by the intermission. The third period saw Rögle add one more for the shutout victory.
Luleå's Pontus Andreasson described the performance as 'pinsamt' after two periods, noting the team started okay but collapsed in the second. 'Det är alldeles för dåligt. Jag vet inte vad vi håller på med. Pinsamt,' Andreasson said in TV4. He added that the team drops too much after conceding, calling it 'bedrövligt' and something that 'får fan inte hända.'
Post-game, Berglund echoed the frustration. 'Vi är inte tillräckligt bra just nu. Vi behöver mobilisera kraft just nu,' he told TV4. He pointed to a thin roster due to injuries but refused excuses, saying Rögle was clearly better and won most duels and second pucks. 'Vi är tvåa på puckarna. Rögle vinner alla andrapuckar.' Berglund stressed the need for returning players and a reset after one more game before the break.
Rögle fans added to Luleå's discomfort with a sign mocking the team's history of diving penalties: 'LULEå är här, filmning pågår. Guldbaggen går till...' This win highlighted Rögle's strong form against a struggling Luleå side.
