Joel Lundqvist was sent off 5+20 minutes for a head tackle on Robert Rosén when the clock stood at 51:39 of the third period, and Växjö led the game by a one-goal margin.

The Lakers failed to capitalize on the long power play that followed, but held off to victory.

The sixth semi-final will be played in Gothenburg on Monday and a possible seventh match will be played in Växjö on Wednesday.
