According to sources, Färjestad had a grip on the three-point win but conceded a late equalizer and the match went to overtime. Färjestad lost in overtime after a highly questionable intervention from their Finnish goalkeeper Emil Larmi. The goalkeeper saved a Malmö shot but did not want a faceoff in his own zone, so he tried to play the puck, and then the accident happened.
Robin Hanzl picked it up and set up Carl Persson who scored 2–1 into a completely empty away net. Färjestad's coach Cam Abbott commented on the loss, saying, "We had some very weak decisions in overtime. Both with the puck and obviously there at the end.
We had some very weak decisions in overtime. Both with the puck and obviously there at the end. It is a missed opportunity for three points today.
" The exact time of the late equalizer and the winning goal has not been disclosed. It remains unclear why Emil Larmi decided to play the puck instead of taking a faceoff. The final score and other match details beyond the described events are not available.
