Skellefteå AIK defeated Malmö 3-2 in a Swedish hockey playoff game at Skellefteå Kraft Arena. The winning goal was scored by Lars Bryggman with 11 seconds remaining in the third period. Skellefteå came back from a 2-0 deficit after two periods, with earlier third-period goals from Oscar Lindberg and Viktor Grahn.
Malmö's goals were scored by Petter Vesterheim and Linus Öberg in the second period. The victory gives Skellefteå a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven quarterfinal series. After the final whistle, tensions reportedly escalated between players, requiring officials to separate the teams before Malmö could leave the ice.
get the fuck out of the way
According to reports from Expressen Sport, Skellefteå's Andreas Johnson said he told Malmö's Robin Hanzl to "get the fuck out of the way," and Hanzl claimed a younger Skellefteå player swung at him after the game. Malmö's Robin Salo reportedly expressed frustration over a non-call on a crosscheck from Oscar Lindberg. The next game in the series is scheduled for Friday at Malmö Arena.
