Sodertalje SK U20 edged HV 71 U20 6-5 in a shootout, after the sides finished 5-5 through regulation and a scoreless overtime. The hosts needed a third-period comeback just to get there.
The first period split evenly at 2-2, and HV 71 took the better of a five-goal second, leading 5-4 after 40 minutes. Sodertalje's only third-period goal tied it at 5-5, and neither side scored in the extra session before the shootout.
The decisive number is the shootout: 1-0 to Sodertalje, the single conversion enough after their goaltender kept HV 71 off the board in overtime and in the skills competition.
