Luleå seized its last chance and won the fourth semifinal game against Skellefteå 3–2, reducing the series to 1–3. Brendan Shinnimin scored twice in the dramatic SHL playoff match. A potential tying goal for Skellefteå was disallowed after video review.
Luleå, the defending champions, took the lead in power play through Brendan Shinnimin at 11:35 of the first period, assisted by Isac Hedqvist. Skellefteå equalized in the second via Arvid Lundberg, but Jesper Sellgren restored the 2–1 lead shortly after.
In the third period, Shinnimin made it 3–1 just 40 seconds in, as Hedqvist's shot deflected off the Canadian into the net. Oskar Vuollet pulled one back to 3–2 after 1:44, but Luleå held on.
With over four minutes left, Skellefteå's Viktor Grahn goal was disallowed after video review. Officials ruled that forward Mikkel Aagaard's stick interfered with Luleå goaltender Matteus Ward.
"This was the first step in what we're trying to do," Shinnimin told TV4 Play. Skellefteå coach Daniel Hermansson said: "The refs say Mikkel's stick was up disturbing, and when they review it like that, they've done right." The next game is Wednesday in Skellefteå.
