When Broc Little equalized for Linköping to 2-2 in the third period, there were not happy faces in the Skellefteå camp. The goal came in the power play after Elias Salomonsson went on a two minuter for holding, in a situation that looked doubtful.
– Anthony Greco makes himself into a little meatball. That is not an expulsion. He puts in a tackle and he falls, says expert Almen Bibic in TV4 Play.
The receipt would hold all the way to an extension.
And twenty seconds into the fifth period, the thrill was over when Dylan Sikura pushed the puck in for a Skellefteå win.
– I didn’t realize that I had the entire network in front of me. But I have to give some credit to Linköping. They don’t give up, they play hard. But nice to get the win in the end, says Sikura in TV4 Play.
Now Skellefteå leads the quarter-final series with 2-0.
