Malmo Redhawks got the only goal they needed in the third period and beat Brynas IF 1-0 in regulation. One shot, one result — this was decided by a single swing of the stick after 43 scoreless minutes.
Neither side broke through in the first two periods, with the scoreboard still reading 0-0 after 40 minutes. The turning point came at 44, when Jonathan Myrenberg scored off a feed from Isac Born to make it 1-0, and Malmo spent the remainder of the third protecting it.
Myrenberg's goal was the entire margin, and Born's assist the only secondary point on the night. Nobody else on either roster registered a goal — the final line reads 1-0 and the per-period split 0-0, 0-0, 1-0.
