Färjestad's first goalkeeper Max Lagacé was out due to injury in the first match and was missing in Sunday's match.
Instead, Anders Lindbäck stepped in – and got a nightmare start.
Many rebounds
4–0 to Skellefteå after the first period. Several of the goals came from rebounds that the 36-year-old goalkeeper let in.
Really bad, we leave Anders back there and make him look really bad. But it's not his fault, he shouldn't get crap for this, says Magnus Nygren in the intermission interview.
The result stood until the final period, which was marked by many penalties. Even before the face-off, the emotions were heated as the two teams clashed during warm-ups. And it spilled over into the actual game.
24 penalty minutes in the period and 34 penalty minutes in the match total.
The series is now tied and turns up to Västerbotten for the next match on Tuesday.
"Satisfied with the day"
The match throughout is a lot of fighting and hot duels, but we're very satisfied with how we come out compared to the first match, says SAIK's Linus Söderström in TV4.
Now the temperature will rise even more when we head up to Skellefteå.
Even Frölunda could tie in their match series against Timrå. Victory 4–0 at home in Scandinavium after back Dominik Egli scored a hat-trick.
