Malmö had an early puck in goal through Jan-Mikael Järvinen, but it was ruled out for a high club.
Shortly afterwards, instead, the home team's Oscar Möller scored in numerical superiority, played by Pär Lindholm.
The second period was then almost exclusively Skellefteås.
In the beginning, Adam Wilsby put 2-0 behind Lars Volden in the Malmö goal after good interaction with Jonatan Berggren.
3-0 also came in the second period when Linus Lindström controlled the puck.
Berggren then made it 4-0.
- I think we make an optimal second period.
We put the pucks behind their jaws and lock them, Wilsby tells C More.
- We go and think that it is the public's ride out there.
They ride eight around us, says Malmö's Emil Sylvegård.
After only 38 seconds of the third period, Patrik Hersley reduced to 4-1, but then Skellefteå responded directly through Jesper Frödén who put in a return.
6-1 came through the star Joakim Lindström who nicely pushed in the goal that determined the result.
The victory means that Skellefteå is back as table third after losing that place to Leksand yesterday.
Both teams have one match left in the regular season.
Malmö needs points to secure their place in the round of 16 and the next chance to take such they have on Sunday when they meet Örebro away.
