Luleå finished second in SHL's basic series and will thus face one of the teams that progresses from the round of 16 when it is time for the quarter finals.
One of the big reasons for Norrbotten's success is Linus Omark, who with his 58 points set a record for the most points in the Luleå jersey in one season.
When Juhani Tyrväinen visited "Hockey Night", he paid tribute to his teammate.
- He is a fantastic player.
He is on a different level than the ones I previously played with.
He thinks hockey in a different way.
He wants the puck all the time and makes many skilled passes.
His brain is different from other ice hockey players, says the Finn.
How is playing your game affected by Omark?
- When we are in the attack zone, it's just a matter of fitting in with him and trying to be free.
If we lose the puck, it's just defending.
It's my job.
I just want "Limpan" to play his game and then I try to find a good passing position.
Will be happy to meet Leksand
Despite the fact that Leksand has several stars, such as the shooting king Max Veronneau and Marek Hrivik, Tyrväinen is happy to meet them in the quarterfinals.
- I think we have played quite well against Leksand.
I think it would be good for us, but we'll see, he says.
- We must be a team over four chains in the playoffs.
Me, Omark and Pontus (Andreasson) have been good now, but we must have four chains that are good.
Then we become a winning team.
