Key Points
  • Färjestad lost 2-1 in overtime after conceding a late equalizer in regulation.
  • Goalkeeper Emil Larmi's decision to play the puck led to Malmö's winning goal by Carl Persson.
  • Coach Cam Abbott said weak decisions in overtime cost Färjestad a three-point victory.

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.
