It took until the middle of the third period before Pär Lindholm broke the game's goal zero, or especially Emil Larmis who had lasted for five and a half periods because Växjö won game two with 1-0.

But Växjö came back and turned the tables on the steak.

First, Dan Sexton, who decided game two, equalized from distance. Then Joel Kellman, with four minutes left of regular game time, scored 2-1 that caused Vida Arena to explode.

Signed late

However, the joy was short-lived. Victor Stjernborg drew a tripping penalty and in the ensuing numerical advantage Oscar Möller pushed in 2-2 and took the match to extra time. The Skellefteå forward thus broke a seven-game goal drought.

The extra time game was one long thriller, just like in the first final match. Only in the middle of the fifth period did Simon Robertsson send in the decisive goal.

The forward had the least ice time on the entire team, but still went and decided the game.

"Lindy (Linus Lindstrom) set it up well and then I just tried to get the puck on goal. It was really nice to see it go in. Pure happiness, says Simon Robertsson to SVT Sport.

"Already longing"

"We have had so many situations and as long as we keep going, the goals will come.

It now stands 2-1 in matches to Växjö. The next game will be played on Saturday in Skellefteå.

"I'm already looking forward to playing a game at home.

Växjö's coach Jörgen Jönsson wants the team to hone in on some details in the next game.

"I hope we have the feeling of hunting and the hunger to force mistakes more than waiting for them to make mistakes. Put more pressure on them," Jönsson told SVT Sport.
