Almtuna IS took a 3-2 decision at Ostersunds IK, settled in the shootout after 65 minutes ended level at 2-2. The visitors led for most of the night and needed the skills competition to bank the extra point.
Oscar Pentler opened it at 13 on a feed from Victor Aronsson, and Charlie Forslund made it 0-2 at 26 with Lukas Vesterlund assisting. Anton Klint pulled one back at 38 for 1-2 after two, then tied it 2-2 at 59 — the turning point that forced overtime, which finished scoreless.
Klint carried the hosts with both goals, unassisted on each, but Almtuna's period-by-period edge — 0-1 in the first, even in the second and third — held up long enough to reach the shootout, where the visitors converted the only attempt that counted.
