Barely two days after Oskarshamn secured the club's first playoff spot ever, the puck was released again in SHL's smallest arena.

3,275 spectators, which means sold out, did their utmost to create a soundscape worthy of a playoff match.

- The atmosphere in the hall is cruel, said Oskarshamn's center Fredrik Olofsson to C More after a period played.

Historical goal scorer

Despite chances in both directions, the goals shone for a long time with their absence.

But at the end of the second period, Johannes Salmonsson broke the target drought.

Salmonsson thus entered the history books as Oskarshamn's first goal scorer in a Swedish Championship play-off.

- It feels fun, the 36-year-old told C More.

29-year-old Patrik Karlkvist scored 26 regular season goals during his debut season in the SHL.

41 seconds into the third period, Karlkvist showed that he can score goals in the Swedish Championship play-offs as well.

2-0 on the scoreboard meant air under the wings of the home players while the guests had to try to come up with something that could break patterns.

Halfway into the third period, Leksand worked a puck into Oskarshamn's box, but no goal as the judges judged that the puck was steered in with a club that was over rib height.

2014 latest

With 2.56 left to play, Leksand coach Björn Hellkvist picked out his goalkeeper Kasimir Kaskisuo in one last attempt.

Three seconds later, Kim Rosdahl pushed the match-winning puck into an empty box.

Jon Knut's reduction was only of academic significance.

The last time Leksand won a play-off match was in the spring of 2014. On Monday night, at home, the valley team has the opportunity to change this fact.

If Leksand wins then a third and decisive fight between the teams awaits on Tuesday, even then in Dalarna.
