In a thrilling match that determined the last spot for the SHL playoffs, Örebro faced Linköping and started strong with David Quenneville scoring an early goal just four minutes into the game. Örebro's Egor Polin showcased his skills with a stunning 'zorro' goal, a move he previously executed successfully last season while playing for Södertälje. Despite his superb performance, the game saw a comeback from Linköping as they scored two goals in just over a minute, leading to a tense finish in regulation time.

The match progressed into overtime after Linköping equalized, with Eskild Bakke Olsen ultimately scoring the decisive goal in the extra period. However, in a twist of fate, Örebro's fate rested on the outcome of Timrå's game against Växjö. Despite their loss, Örebro qualified for the playoffs because Timrå also lost, granting them the opportunity to advance to the knockout stage of the tournament.

Now, Örebro prepares to face Luleå in the playoffs, while Djurgården will compete against Malmö in another matchup. This outcome not only highlights Örebro's resilience but also sets the stage for an exciting playoff race in the SHL, as teams gear up for intense competition in the knockout rounds.
