Brynäs was whipped to win so as not to lose the match series against Malmö and be relegated to hockeyallsvenskan. Then Greg Scott stepped forward and settled in the second overtime period, after a suspected offside situation.

Malmö's Carl Söderberg was closest when Brynäs player Theo Lindstein fumbled a little with the puck on the blue line just seconds before the goal.

"It's offside, but it's fast out there and it's tough for the linesman. In such situations, one can hope that the other judges will jump in and make the decision for him, Söderberg told Expressen.
