Färjestad, eighth in the regular season, leads the series 2-1 and can decide at home on Saturday against series winner Frölunda.
Färjestad took a 3-0 lead. Frölunda reduced the deficit twice but could not equalize despite playing five-on-three for just over a minute and a half at the end of the third period.
We are having a fantastic match. I am so proud of the team, said Färjestad goalkeeper Ida Boman, who saved 32 of 34 shots, on the YouTube broadcast.
Luleå secured advancement to the semifinals after their third straight victory over Djurgården, 5–0.
