Skellefteå had 15 straight wins at home, the last loss came on October 25.
They also celebrated 80 years since the association's first hockey match at home against Brynäs.
When they more or less filled the arena for the event, the odds were in the league leaders' favor against Brynäs, who were second last before the evening after five losses in a row.
Brynäs took the lead in the second period after video assessment for possible goalkeeper interference.
But the goal stood, as did Brynäs' advantage.
Skellefteå equalized in the final period and took it to extra time.
Once there, Jonathan Pudas drew an early expulsion and gave Brynäs a dream situation to pick up a valuable extra point.
They did too, at the end of a slightly lame four-on-three play, the bounce went their way as Dmytro Timashov's pass bounced off Skellefteå defenders and into the goal.
- I just tried to put it on the goal, it bounced on a skate and into the goal so it was damn nice.
We have struggled in several matches and have not been able to get the result.
So now it's nice to get this in Skellefteå, says Timashov to C More.
Because HV71 lost 3-0 away to Växjö on Tuesday evening, Brynäs went up on the same points as the Jönköping team.
But HV has a better goal difference and is therefore still on safe ground in the table.
