Artturi Lehkonen adds a game-winning goal to his recent offensive tear

In the derby/rivalry game with Frölunda hosting Färjestad, in front of a sold out Scandinavium (12 044 spectators), it was Artturi Lehkonen that had the game-winner in overtime for the home side.

In the 3-on-3 overtime, Lehkonen paced himself and waited for the perfect pass before slapping the one-timer past (outstanding) goalkeeper Justin Pogge (a former Toronto Maple Leafs pick from 2004). In typical Lehkonen style, he drifted back and let the defenders sink a bit too deep and really let that shot rip into the net.

Before this goal, Lehkonen helped by assisting on the go-ahead goal for Frölunda midway through the first period, fighting to control the puck and somehow getting it forward to Joel Lundqvist (yes, that's Henrik's brother) before Lundqvist could hang it high.
