No Swedish ice hockey team has ever turned a 0–3 deficit in a playoff series. Rögle could be the first - and the wind has truly turned for the Ängelholm club.

After a poor start to the quarterfinal series against Färjestad, losing the first three games, the team has won the next three.

Mentally we have taken it the right way. We have fought to get this seventh at home. We know what kind of fans we have and if it rocked here, it will rock on Sunday too, says goalkeeper Holm to TV4 Play.

The 3-2 match in Karlstad was dramatic.

After a tough first period, the visitors were rewarded in the second. Goals from Felix Nilsson, Albin Sundsvik and Daniel Zaar gave them a firm grip on the match - but it remained dramatic.

Färjestad's strong start to the third, with goals from Radim Zohorna and Viktor Lodin, gave the home team and the fans hope of a good Good Friday.

But Rögle held on, much of it through sacrificial play.

That's how we play. Everything for each other, and we will continue that way, says Arvid Holm.

Färjestad coach Cam Abbott:

The second period, in which we conceded three goals, was too much to make up for, he tells TV4 Play.

We created several chances to equalize, but it didn't work. Now there will be another match and it will be fun.

A seventh and decisive match awaits in Ängelholm on Sunday.
