Linköping takes the step up by 36 points, six ahead of Modo just below the line, when only two matches remain.

This after last year's finalist defeated Djurgården by 4-3 after being penalized at home tonight.

LHC tear started and had 2-0 in the first period before the table fire woke up and turned. Sarah Bujold's nine-second reduction of the first period was the starting shot before Josefin Bouveng and Lova Blom both acknowledged and gave the guests the lead.

Zoe Hickel acknowledged in the third period and then said Hickel, together with Lene Tendenes and Sanna Valkama scored goals in the penalty shootout. When only Jennifer Wakefield scored Djurgården, things were clear.

For the weekend, the basic series will be decided before the playoffs begin next week.
