Färjestad - Timrå 2-3
Last placed Timrå showed great fighting spirit when defeating Färjestad on away ice 3-2. Timrå only dressed 15 skaters and only had seven forwards available from the roster. But Timrå played really well for the first two period and perhaps they have should have the lead but the score was 2-2. In the third Färjestad took over and 16-4 in shots but Timrå scored the only goal when Jonathan Hedström was given an open net to score on after some nice passes.

Skellefteå - Luleå 3-1
Luleå had already won Elitserien before this game but Skellefteå wanted to show that they should have won the league in the derby game. And after a very good game by the home they won 3-1. Bud Holloway was the game winner for Skellefteå by scoring one goal and two assists.

Brynäs - Frölunda 2-3
A few rounds ago Brynäs was a big contender for the regular season title but after a lot of losses recently they are now down in fifth place and might miss out on the home ice advantage in the quarter finals. Today they however did a quite good game but still lost at home to Frölunda when Frederik Andersen made 31 saves for the guests. Brynäs lead 2-1 after two period but Frölunda won after two goals in the third. Mika Pyöräla scored the game winner at 13:55, his second goal of the game.
