Victor Grönberg has been appointed as the new assistant coach at Almtuna. The 32-year-old moves from his role as J20 coach at Brynäs to work under head coach Marcus Ragnarsson.
Jakob Silfverberg emerged as the match hero, scoring in overtime to give Brynäs its first victory in the SHL quarterfinal series against Växjö Lakers. The win came in Gävle after the home team had lost the first two games. Silfverberg credited inspiration from the women's team's SM-gold the day before.
