The Växjö Lakers hosted league leader Frölunda tonight at the VIDA Arena and what an evening it would be! The home team wins with 8-0!
The guests from Gothenburg start off briskly and create some chances against Viktor Fasth, but Fasth is good. It’s Frölunda who also gets the first power play of the night after 4:14 when Martin Lundberg shows up for a grab. Frölunda sets up a good power play, but Växjö and Fasth still get it right and handle it. The game rocks back and forth a bit. After 17:44, the first goal of the game would arrive, and it is Joel Persson who leads the 1-0 with a wrist shot from the blue line behind a Johan Mattsson hidden in the goal of Frölunda! Ludvig Nilsson receives the puck from Erik Josefsson, Nilsson turns the puck blue, and Persson sends the shot that finds its way to the crossbar. It is the only goal that falls in the first half, the shots are also won by the home team, with 9-7.
Frölunda puts pressure directly in the second period against Viktor Fasth who gets to sweat properly, Max Friberg gets a free position, but Fasth is blown away. Therefore, the next goal of the match comes a bit unfair, but beautiful, 2-0 through Ilari Melart! Fredrik Karlström puts the puck to Marcus Sylvegård in the offensive zone, Sylvegård drops the puck between the legs behind Melart, Melart pulls a wrist shot that goes to the post 5:33. And someone opened the ketchup bottle, really! The 3-0 comes through Ludvig Nilsson in a free position from his own blue line since Erik Josefsson presented the puck to Nilsson, Nilsson does a long backhand pull and places the puck between his legs in beat 6: 11, Emil Forlund also receives a goal assist. Roger Rönnberg takes his time out and replaces Johan Mattsson and replaces Niklas Rubin. But Rubin didn’t have time to hit the puck against the little one in the net again at 4-0 via Emil Pettersson! Again a counterattack where Andrew Calof broke Frölunda’s attempt to put pressure in the offensive zone, he served the puck perfectly to Emil who placed the puck clean with Rubin at 6:50. After 10:50 it is even 5-0! Jack Drury throws a pass through Frölunda’s defensive wall to Emil Pettersson, who shoots the puck into the right corner, also assists Andrew Calof. After 15:52, Stefan Elliot from the guests goes out for a hook. And then it also comes 6-0 at 17:40 via Richard Gynge! Joel Persson hits a pass from the left through the guest area to the right side where Gynge gets a good position, and Gynge places the puck between Rubin’s legs. Andrew Calof stands out for the third assist on goal tonight. 5-0 in the period was enough before the period break. Shots end 12-9.
In the final period after 4:03, the Lakers would extend their lead to 7-0 through Jack Drury! The king of points tonight, Andrew Calof puts more of the puck in the left corner in the Frölunda area to Drury, Drury pulls his back and breaks in front of Rubin and lifts the puck into the net. The later game is quite rejected. After 9:22, Liam Dower Nilsson of the guests incurs a penalty game and 5 minutes of power play for the home team. And you would use it to make 8-0! Emil Pettersson sends a record to direct, Martin Lundberg directs it to Richard Gynge, who in turn conducts the record at 1:46 p.m. The remaining time was mainly to fight for zero for Viktor Fasth, who again plays a very good game, and you do it and we won 8-0! The shots at the end finish 10-11 to Frölunda.
