Vaxjo Lakers HC took it 3-2 over Rogle BK in regulation, and the margin came from a middle period the Lakers owned on the scoresheet. Brian Cooper's second of the night at 36 minutes stood as the game-winner, and Vaxjo closed it out with a scoreless third.
The opening period was a trade: Cooper scored inside the first minute, Lubos Horky answered at 5, and Calle Sjalin put Rogle ahead 1-2 at 14. Joel Persson tied it at 2-2 right at the 20-minute mark, and after Cooper's 36th-minute goal made it 3-2, neither side scored again over the final 24 minutes.
Lucas Elvenes was the connective piece with assists on both Vaxjo goals that reset the game, Cooper's opener and Persson's equalizer. Cooper's two-goal night accounted for the only multi-goal performance in the building, and Jimi Suomi had the helper on the winner.
