Overtime is paused now, it is because we want to focus on the premiere week, says SHL's communications manager Johanna Alba to the newspaper.
Färjestad's supporter club "Bryggeriet" had threatened to leave the stand in the event of a possible extension since SHL presented its sponsorship with Red Bull and the new concept.
Even Djurgården's supporter association has protested against the cooperation, just like the Swedish hockey supporter union.
This is due to Red Bull's history of club ownership, which goes against Swedish sports' 51-percent rule.
How long SHL pauses the concept around overtime games is unclear.
It applies until further notice, says Alba.
SHL started on Saturday and six of the matches in the second round are played on Tuesday evening.
