It started with a goalless period in the Vida Arena, but after the first break the match gained real momentum.
And it was the people in Malmö who then made a move.
Emil Larmi lost the puck behind his own box, which gave Marcus Sylvegård the chance and he made it 1-0 for Malmö.
Less than two minutes later, the lead was extended to 2-0 through Carl Persson.
Rosén hat trick hero
At the beginning of the third period, 3-0 also followed from Sylvegård, but then Växjö woke up.
Robert Rosén made it 3-1 and just eleven seconds later Erik Josefsson also made it 3-2.
Rosén equalized in the middle of the decisive period.
The tie stood for the rest of the period, and extra time awaited.
There, Växjö decided, through a long-range shot by Rosén, who became the hero of the match with his hat-trick.
When Skellefteå, who faced Leksand at the same time, suffered a loss, Växjö's league lead was extended to eight points.
