IF Björklöven won 5-2 in regulation, grabbing control with a two-goal opening period and never letting MoDo Hockey back into the contest. The early lead proved decisive as Björklöven managed the game on the scoreboard from the first minutes.
Björklöven scored at 6 and 11 minutes for a 2-0 first-period edge, then added strikes at 27 and 33 before MoDo answered at 34 to make it 4-1 after two periods. MoDo narrowed the gap at 48, but Björklöven's goal at 43 had already restored a three-goal cushion that held to the final buzzer.
The home side produced goals in all three periods, while MoDo's offense remained limited to single tallies in the second and third. Björklöven's sustained pressure and early execution were the difference in a straightforward 5-2 decision.
