Farjestad have now won 14 matches in a row, but their streak was severely tested by Lulea, who were unable to hang on and fell to a first defeat in four as a result. Isac Brannstrom put the sixth-placed side ahead midway through the first period, and Lulea held that lead for 40 minutes.
But 10 minutes into period three, the visitors woke up - Radim Zohorna finally broke through to equalise before Victor Ejdsell turned the match on its head, and being shorthanded in the final two minutes didn't stop Filip Roos finding the empty net to settle it, 3-1.
The gap between the top two remains at eight points after Frolunda enjoyed a 4-0 win at Rogle. It's three wins on the bounce for the Gothenburg side, while the hosts sit seventh after four straight losses.
Things could have been different had Ludvig Claesson's goal for Rogle not been disallowed in period one, and their luck remained out when Filip Cederqvist scored shorthanded midway through the match. Frolunda turned on the style in period three, as Samuel Fegemo and Bosse Meijer quickly opened a three-goal lead, before Nicklas Lasu found the empty net.
But it was at the other end where the match was won, as Lars Johansson registered an incredible 37-save shutout to keep the Angelhom side at bay.
Skelleftea bounced back from conceding 10 at Brynas by seeing off Linkoping 5-2 to stay third and keep the visitors in the bottom two. Remi Elie scored twice for Linkoping but they were no match for the hosts, for whom Oscar Lindberg also struck a brace, while Andreas Johnson scored one and assisted three.
After Farjestad, the longest current winning run in the SHL belongs to Orebro, who beat Djurgarden 4-1 for a fourth win in succession, while the Stockholm side cling onto 10th place despite back-to-back defeats. Robin Salo and Lucas Stockselius both scored and assisted on a night when four Orebro players scored two points.
Lulea's loss meant Malmo held onto fifth place despite going down 2-1 at home to Vaxjo, for whom Olivier Nadeau score both goals either side of Axel Sundberg's effort, as the Lakers climb to ninth after two wins on the spin.
Bottom-of-the-table HV 71 picked up a first win in eight by beating Timra 4-3, as the visitors fell out of the top 10 with a third straight loss. HV were 2-0 down after 20 minutes but four unanswered goals - including a goal and assist each for Jan Mysak and Lukas Rousek turned the match around. The Jonkoping side are now just a point behind Linkoping.
And HV 71 are now only three points from safety after Bjorkloven's dismal run continued, losing for the eighth match in a row, 4-1 at home to Brynas, for whom Jaret Anderson-Dolan grabbed a goal and assist in their second win on the bounce, climbing to eighth place.
