When Oskarshamn fell at home to Rögle in the last match before the New Year, they set a new record in SHL.
Never before has a team in the highest league lost 15 games in a row.
The hope was, of course, that the new year would mean a turnaround for the Smålanders.
Oskarshamn also started the game with energy and lined up in the top positions against a great-playing Niklas Rubin in Frölundakassen.
Oskarshamn crisis continues
But when the dividend for the home team was not paid, it was Frölunda who would take the lead.
With just 37 seconds left in the first period, Jesper Sellgren responded 1-0.
But Oskarshamn got in touch in the second period when Markus Modigs took advantage of Simon Edvinsson’s mistake and put the tie.
Frölunda took the fifth consecutive victory
Soon after, the home team had the opportunity to take the lead in the power play. But instead, Mats Rosseli Olsen was able to make it 2-1 against the guests after Max Friberg provided excellent preparation.
When Christoffer Ehn extended the lead to 3-1 in the third period, he decided the match.
Rickard Palmberg did get a reduction, but the home team didn’t get any closer than that. Before the match was over, Frölunda had scored two more goals through Patrik Carlsson and Jan Mursak.
– It is sad to start the new year with a loss. Today we do very good things, says Jonas Engström in C More.
Returns the leadership of the league
– Above all, it is a step towards the last game. It’s a little different from desperation and skating. Today we do very good things, continues the captain of Oskarshamn.
At the same time that the defeat was the 16th in a row for the Smålanders, there are happier faces in Gothenburg. Frölunda now has five consecutive victories and thus regains the league leadership in the SHL.
– I think the first period is not so much to take us, but we really took a step forward in the second and third and we deservedly won, says Niklas Rubin.
