The second period in the semifinals between the three teams was something out of the ordinary.
A Färjestad with a big game advantage took the lead, Rögle equalized after 23 seconds.
And just two minutes later, the procedure was repeated: Färjestad took the lead again in powerplay when Gustav Rydahl scored his sixth goal in the playoffs.
But immediately after the drop, this time after only 14 seconds, Rögle had replicated when Oliver Tärnström poked the puck from a narrow angle.
It was barely the home crowd had taken in what happened, before Rögle also took the lead with 3-2.
Lukas Ekeståhl-Jonsson with a fluttery shot from the blue line that went into the net via Ludvig Larsson, his second goal point for the evening.
- We came out with bad energy and poor self-confidence for some reason.
But then we came up with the chest and drove on here in the second period, Larsson said to Cmore during the period break.
In the third period, Färjestad was extremely close to an equalizer to 3-3 when the puck danced near the goal line, but Rögle defense and goalkeeper Christoffer Rifalk held tight and took an, for the team and semifinal series, important victory and equalized to 1-2 in matches.
- Nice to be able to close the gap a little and get something to build on.
They pressed well and we were not there from the start.
Then the old men come back with three goals and it's a really nice feeling, goalkeeper Rifalk says afterwards.
