Physically with few scoring chances. This is how you can summarize the first period between Luleå and Växjö.
But in the middle act, more entertainment was offered. Luleå played up and created several hot scoring chances. At the same time, Växjö had difficulty with the intensity.
With less than two minutes remaining, the lead goal would come for the Norse. Joonas Rask got the puck in front of goal and thundered there 1–0.
"We have turned the tables earlier this season. It's just a matter of driving on, but this period was not good. We have to step up. I think we are a little too comfortable and do not win any close games, says Växjö's Ludvig Nilsson in C More.
Växjö then pushed for an equaliser goal, but Luleå resisted and won the game with the odd goal. It also means that it is equalized in the match series, 1–1. The next game between the teams will be played on Monday.
