It went to overtime for the fifth consecutive time in the quarterfinals between Karlskoga and Oskarshamn.
But then Oskarshamn's Nolan Walker took an unnecessary penalty.
A quick rap in the knee pit on Tobias Sjökvist resulted in a two-minute penalty – with two minutes and 38 seconds left to play. And the penalty would also be punished.
After just 27 seconds in power play, Hampus Plato could score the decisive 3–2 goal, which meant semifinal play for Karlskoga and the end of the season for the home team.
After six matches, the second-place team in the regular season is thus clear for the semifinals, as the third team.
Now we're in the crap. I'm feeling great, it's playoff time, but we're far from done. We're going to go up to SHL, says Plato to TV4 Play.
Previously, Djurgården (4–0 against Mora) and Södertälje (4–1 against Kalmar) have qualified, and the last spot is between Björklöven and AIK (3–2 to Björklöven).
