He salvaged a draw with just over a minute left in the summit clash - and then decided it in overtime. Skellefteå's leading goal-scorer and points leader, Oscar Lindberg, was the match-winner in the top-of-the-table clash with Frölunda, 4–3.

Frölunda led 3–1 with less than ten minutes left, but Jonathan Johnsson reduced the deficit and Lindberg equalized. Then only 1:09 of the match remained at Scandinavium.

At 1:26 of overtime, Lindberg was the winning scorer with his 27th goal and 51st point of the season. He had earlier completed a long backcheck into his own zone before turning and receiving a free pass.

I had some gunpowder left in my legs; I just tried to push on it and managed to coax it in, Lindberg tells TV4 Play.

Frölunda retains the league lead, eight points ahead of Skellefteå.
