At the beginning of the second period, the accident almost occurred to Färjestad's Per Åslund.
Teammate Gustav Rydahl's skates slipped right past his face in connection with the 2-1 goal.
But he avoided the rail and got to be part of celebrating the second straight quarter-final win.
One who failed to avoid the accident was Adam Ginning.
