In a match in Malmö, Sweden, Malmö and Skellefteå scored eight goals in the first period, which is reportedly very unusual. Malmö took a 1-0 lead, Skellefteå equalized quickly, then Malmö pulled ahead to 3-1 before Skellefteå tied it at 3-3. Malmö scored again 17 seconds later to make it 4-3, with Skellefteå's goalkeeper Linus Söderström conceding four goals on seven shots.
Skellefteå then equalized at 4-4 during a power play. Kalle Hemström scored his first SHL goal for Malmö in the match, having recently signed his first senior contract with the team and been called up to the junior national team in January. The match was ongoing with Malmö leading 3-1 at one point.
