The first two periods were not much to write home about.

But in the third the match took off.

Homecoming Anton Lindholm scored his third goal of the season barely three minutes into the third period.

Skellefteåsonen returned to Swedish ice hockey for this season after six seasons in the NHL/AHL and KHL, and it is the first time the defenseman has scored more than two goals in the same season.

Timrå pushed for an equalizing goal, but never managed to break Leksand's score.
