The win means that the Jönköping team leads the series 2–0 in the fight to stay in the SHL.

The away team Leksand opened the scoring through Oskar Lang in the middle of the first period, but then the home fans celebrated three times in a row.

Hugo Pettersson made it 1–1 and 2–1 with just over two minutes left in the first period. After a scoreless second period, Andreas Borgman extended the lead to 3–1, just over two minutes into the third period. Leksand's Lukas Vejdemo reduced the lead to 3–2, but the away team didn't get any closer than that.

Match three will be played in Leksand on Sunday.
