HV71 won 3-2 against Leksand in the second match of the SHL qualification series, taking a 2-0 lead. Leksand showed a strong first period but faltered late, with a penalty hindering their comeback. Players and coach expressed frustration yet optimism ahead of home games.

Leksand started strongly in the second qualification match against HV71, taking a 1-0 lead through Oskar Lang, assisted by Nolan Stevens' heel pass around nine minutes in. TV4 commentator Sanny Lindström called the goal 'otroligt läckert'. However, HV71 equalized 1-1 on a power play by Hugo Pettersson with three minutes left in the first period, followed by Pettersson's rebound goal for 2-1 just 38 seconds before the break after a weak save by Leksand's Filip Larsson. Leksand forward Oskar Lang noted to TV4: 'Vi börjar jäkligt bra och får ett tidigt mål. Sen får dem ett mål i powerplay och vi tappar det lite. Vi tappar i vårt spel och gör inte det vi ska.' Coach Johan Hedberg praised the first period, saying Leksand played 'framåtlutade, spelar bakom deras backar och vinner puckar', but highlighted HV71's dominance in the second. Lukas Vejdemo pulled Leksand to 3-2 with five minutes remaining, but Andro Kaderli's cross-checking penalty a minute later stifled momentum. Hedberg said of Kaderli: 'Det får inte hända. En ung kille givetvis och en otroligt ärlig hockeyspelare. Så jag är förvånad att han gick i den fällan.' Forward Michael Lindqvist remained positive despite the pressure: 'Det är jävligt roligt' and 'sådana här matcher man spelar hockey för'. Leksand now faces two home games, where Lindqvist noted a strong recent trend. HV71 welcomed back Hampus Eriksson, sidelining Martin Johnsen.
