In a dramatic Hockeyallsvenskan matchup, Västerås overturned a 2-0 deficit against rival BIK Karlskoga, scoring three goals on just seven shots to take a 3-2 lead in the third period. The game, hosted by league leaders Karlskoga against bottom-placed Västerås, remained ongoing as of the latest updates.
The Friday evening clash at Karlskoga's home rink pitted top-of-the-table BIK Karlskoga against struggling Västerås. Karlskoga dominated the first period, outshooting Västerås 17-1 and taking a 1-0 lead on a precise shot from Elias Ekström.
Västerås appeared outplayed early, trailing 2-0 entering the third period. However, the visitors mounted a remarkable turnaround. Halfway through the third, Konstantin Komarek cut the deficit to 2-1. Just two minutes later, Carl Jakobsson tied the game at 2-2.
Over two minutes into the period, Jakobsson struck again, skating in and firing a shot near the first post to give Västerås a 3-2 advantage. Goaltender Olof Lindbom likely regretted the lapse. Remarkably, Västerås achieved this with only seven shots on goal total.
Commentator Andreas Åberg captured the moment on TV4: "Västerås har vänt! 2-0 underläge till 3-2 på det sjunde skottet i matchen. Jakobsson tvåmålsskytt." The match continued at that score, highlighting the intensity of the rivalry.
