Djurgården snapped a seven-game home losing streak with a 2-1 shootout victory over Färjestad at Hovet, thanks to strong goaltending from Magnus Hellberg and key contributions from young forwards. The win marked the team's third straight victory overall. Coach Robert Kimby praised the JVM returnees for their seamless integration.
Lucas Forsell, a 22-year-old forward under contract with Färjestad for another year, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to move to SHL rival Timrå ahead of next season.
