Linköping HC won 2-1 over Södertälje SK in overtime, stealing the Club Friendly Games matchup with an extra-frame strike after regulation solved nothing. The road side took control with a second-period goal, but Södertälje answered in the third to force the extra period.
The first frame produced no goals as both forechecks struggled to create clean looks. Linköping broke through in the middle period, then Södertälje's third-period push briefly shifted momentum, only for Linköping to restore order in overtime. The turning point was that OT goal, which made the 1-1 deadlock moot.
The final margin was a single goal, and the period-by-period board tracked a tight game throughout: 0-0 after one, 1-0 after two, and 1-1 at the end of regulation. Linköping's discipline in finding the OT winner gave them the only separation needed on the night.
