Linus Omark, 38, missed Luleå's quarterfinal series against Växjö due to injury. In the first semifinal against Frölunda, he was back – and with a bang. The veteran scored as early as five minutes and 21 seconds in. Then Pontus Andreasson took over the show.
SportsLuleå is the first team to qualify for the semifinals in the National Championship playoffs. After a new overtime drama against Växjö, they won 3–2 and a total of 4–1 in the quarterfinal series. I don't know what's happening, the pucks are going in. I feel in good form, says the red-hot matchwinner Pontus Andreasson to TV4 Play.
SportsThe first quarterfinal between Luleå and Växjö was long even and tight. Then Växjö's Erik Martinsson got a brain fade when he took a match penalty – and Luleå could win with 4–0. Bloody unnecessary of him, says Luleå player Isac Hedqvist in TV4 about Växjö defender's move.
