Luleå acknowledged in the middle of the third and well in the extension, Savolainen scored two points for Luleå.

- Very nice, I didn't think it would go in. It wasn't the best shot in the world. We get better and better the longer the match goes. We play with quite a few players which it is nice that we can handle and show that we have good fitness. You get a lot of confidence when you get a lot of playing time and then you want to show that you deserve it, says Savolainen.

HV will get revenge already tomorrow, when the law meets again.
