And not in any way. With only a few minutes left in the first extra period, Måns Carlsson broke free and offered an art number that brings to mind Kent “Kenta” Nilsson and Peter Forsberg. Carlsson feinted Nikita Tolopilo down and put the puck in next to the home goalkeeper with a backhand.
The 3-2 victory means that Mora wins the series 4-2 in matches and now Modo, Björklöven and Djurgården join in the semi-finals, which begin this weekend.
There awaits Modo, who, as series winners, had to choose an opponent from among the two lowest-ranked teams – Djurgården was the other option. Then the choice fell on Mora.
This pits Björklöven against Djurgården.
The winner of the playoffs will be promoted to the SHL next season.
Moras Måns Carlsson scored a “Kenta Nilsson goal”.
