Both teams created chances, but neither scored.

It was a fact in the 60 regular game minutes when Färjestad took on Växjö.

- They are tight, I still think we create some chances.

They also have some chances, a fairly even match, said Karlstadlaget's Joakim Nygård after the second period.

- When a chance does appear, it's quite a big chance, otherwise it's tight, the opposing coach Jörgen Jönsson filled in.

High-quality game, but no goals.

This applied all the way up to the penalty shootout, where Färjestad scored two goals and Växjö none.

Finest was Victor Ejdsell's first and the match was then decided when Matt Tomkins saved Lucas Bengtsson's penalty.
