HV defeated Luleå in front of the crowd - now the fans are closed out

The HV71 did not need more than 27 seconds in the first period to get into the driver's seat in the first SM final away to Luleå.

There were so many seconds it took Hanna Olsson, 15.24 into the first period, and Anna Borgqvist, 15.51, to go up to a 2-0 lead.

Home team closer in the middle period when Petra Nieminen reduced in the second period.

With 6.30 left of the match, Canadian Kaitlyn Tougas put 3-1 in boxing, when the Northern Bots chased a receipt. Emma Nordin then gave the final extra nerve as she sat 2-3 with a few minutes left. But closer than that, Luleå did not come. HV kept away and won.

On Friday, the final match two is waiting in Jönköping. A meeting that will be played in front of empty stands, as the government has so far banned public events of over 500 people.
