Rogle have come from 3-0 down to level their Swedish Hockey League (SHL) playoff quarter-final series with Farjestad, winning game six 3-2 away from home.

[p]2-1 and 7-2 wins had eaten into the overall advantage of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/farjestad/4b1TBPb8/"]Farjestad[/a], who just needed one victory to reach the semi-finals.[/p][p]The same was therefore true today, but despite a pair of powerplay opportunities, the home side failed to break the deadlock in a goalless first period in which they had 12 shots on goal to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/rogle/j5ve8f1r/"]Rogle[/a]'s five.[/p][p]Rogle punished them, and then some, in the first seven minutes of the second period, [b]which was a minute old when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sjalin-calle/6yJqOly9/"]Calle Sjalin[/a]'s effort off target was picked up behind the net by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/olofsson-fredrik/EaoM2Dbt/"]Fredrik Olofsson[/a], who knocked it back for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/nilsson-felix/vN94rnWb/"]Felix Nilsson[/a] to finish from close range.[/b][/p][p][b]Three minutes later, the visitors won a face-off in their own zone before [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bristedt-leon/KQNpzlpH/"]Leon Bristedt[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/zaar-daniel/fwouXpYR/"]Daniel Zaar[/a] launched a counter-attack which was coolly finished off by the arriving [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sundsvik-albin/v1N8I8As/"]Albin Sundsvik[/a].[/b][/p][embed guid="af43fcc5-5fbe-4d46-990c-2df909186d68" url="https://x.com/SHLse/status/2040069548171268329" social-type="twitter" /][p]Another three minutes went by before the Angelholm side added another - [b]this time Sundsvik and Sjalin combined to set up Zaar to make it 3-0[/b]. It could have been worse for FBK come the midpoint, but Olofsson had a goal disallowed for obstruction on the goaltender.[/p][p]Credit to Farjestad, they fought back hard in the third period - [b]just over a minute in, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lodin-viktor/tv3Kr385/"]Viktor Lodin[/a] had the sense to tap the puck back away from a congested centre for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/zohorna-radim/Wfrq4sim/"]Radim Zohorna[/a] to cut the deficit to two, before Lodin himself scored the home side's second with 16 minutes still to play.[/b][/p][p]However, those were 16 minutes in which Rogle held out, limiting the Karlstad side to 10 shots on goal in the final period in total, and taking the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/hockey/farjestad-4b1TBPb8/rogle-j5ve8f1r/?mid=C4fd0gsI"]3-2[/a] win that sets up a deciding match back in Angelholm on Sunday 5th April.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/hockey/sweden/shl/"]Follow the SHL Playoffs on Flashscore.[/a][/b][/p]
