Djurgården overcame an early injury to forward Victor Eklund and a 2-1 deficit to defeat Timrå 3-2 in a shootout at Hovet. Anton Frondell opened the scoring, Philip Holm tied the game shorthanded, and Viggo Björck sealed the victory on penalties. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the home team.
Alfons Freij, who had a late-season surge with Timrå in the SHL, has been reassigned to the Winnipeg Jets' AHL affiliate. The young defenceman helped Sweden win gold at the world juniors earlier this year. Timrå missed the playoffs, ending their season.

Timrå announced the departure of goalie Tim Juel and backs Linus Nässén, Lukas Pilö, and Tim Erixon following end-of-season meetings. Erixon, 35, appears set to retire after a foot injury sidelined him. Sport chief Kent Norberg confirmed a new forward is nearing a deal.
