In the third CHL game of the season, Skellefteå took their first three-pointer after great efficiency in the first two periods.

When Trinec's Martin Ruzicka first reduced to 3-5 after a free position and then spot-kicked 4-5 in the middle of the third period, the match became tense and SAIK goalkeeper Gustaf Lindvall was put under great pressure.

At the end, Trinec picked out their goalie and took a timeout to try to equalize.

- It was unnecessarily exciting at the end, you might think with that start and the match picture, but Trinec, which we warned about, created chances and it was a Skellefteå that backed off a little and it became very exciting, says SVT Sports expert Nils Ekman.
