After entering the second period with a 1-0 lead, it narrowed down twice in a short time.
First, Patrik Zackrisson led 2-0 in the open box after a superb pass from Carter Camper, after only 25 seconds of play.
And barely three minutes later, Fredrik Forsberg put 3-0 for Leksand just after they managed a numerical disadvantage.
Missed several players
Rickard Hugg did reduce for Skellefteå shortly afterwards, but Leksand managed to account for a strong away match and the 3-1 lead stood the match out.
A nice victory for Leksand who missed several players and came to the match with two straight losses.

96 minutes of suspension
In the middle of the period, both Skellefteå's Tyler Morley and Leksand's Lucas Nordsäter received match penalties after a wrestling match between them.
A total of 96 minutes of suspension were awarded in the match.
It was gratifying for Leksand that 17-year-old Isak Rosén was noted for his first SHL point in his career when he played until Oskar Lang's 1-0 goal.
- It's completely sick, really fun that they believe in me, Rosén said before the match.
