1-0 came in the second period when the formidable back talent Nils Lundkvist hit the lead.
2-0 was the neglect of the guests. First Luleå's Joel Lassinantti saved a Skellefteå position in powerplay and instead veteran Karl Fabricius got the chance and then he put 2-0 behind John Vestermark. Vestermark, which was borrowed from Piteå, made its SHL debut in a Skellefteå which has a goalkeeping crisis.
The nail in the coffin came in an empty box through the success acquisition Konstantin Komarek.
The loss caused Skellefteå to finish in fourth place in the basic series.
