With the only goal of the game Linköping managed to keep the semi final series against Skellefteå. The best-of-seven series started with clear wins for top ranked Skellefteå: 3-0, 8-2 and 4-1. Yesterday’s goal was scored by Jonas Junland. Marcus Högberg in Linköping’s net made 37 saves to earn the shutout.
