Frölunda changed goalkeeper before the third semifinal against Luleå.
But there was no effect from Niklas Rubin standing in front of the cage for the first time in a month.
After the first period, Luleå had a 2-0 lead - although much of it was initially about Frölunda.
- It was our period.
Overall, we have been better, but that is sometimes the case.
They have received a good dividend on the chances they had, said Frölunda's Max Friberg in C More.
A reduction in the middle period did not help the guests.
Instead, Luleå extended to 3-1 in the third period.
In the pursuit of a reduction, Frölunda suffered a heavy setback.
Linus Nässén fell badly into the rim after a duel with Carl Mattsson.
The nose remained lying on the ice after the violent blow and had to be led out with pain.
Carl Mattsson, who was involved in the situation, also set the decisive goal to 3-1 before Frölunda got to a final reduction to 3-2.
Linus Omark scored 4-2, his second goal of the evening, in an empty net.
Luleå now leads the semifinal series with 2-1 in matches.
