Brynäs had the chance to secure the series win for the second round in a row.

But it didn't happen this time either.

Brynäs lost big (2–7) while Luleå won away over Färjestad and still has a theoretical chance to catch up.

But Luleå is eight points behind and has a 21-goal worse goal difference than Brynäs.

Växjö went up to a 3–0 lead during the last six minutes of the first period.

It's no high point, we're too sloppy with the puck, said team captain Jakob Silfverberg to TV4 Play during the first intermission.

Then the difficulties continued.

Dylan McLaughlin then scored three straight goals, 4–0 in the second period and 5–0 and 6–0 in the third.

The last two came in a power play after home defenseman Charles-Edouard D'Astous was given a match penalty.

The next chance to secure the series win comes on Thursday when Brynäs meets Rögle on the away field.
