Lillehammer IK claimed a 5-2 regulation win over Gjøvik Mammuts, taking control with a three-goal first period. The visiting side led 3-0 after 20 minutes and never let the advantage slip below three goals.
The game’s decisive frame was the opening period, where Lillehammer scored three unanswered goals. Gjøvik answered with one in the second but then gave up two more to fall behind 1-5; the Mammuts added a late third-period tally for the final 2-5 scoreline.
The standout number was Lillehammer’s early burst: three goals in the first period established the margin, and the team finished with five total despite a quieter third period. Gjøvik’s late push was too little to change the result.
