Saturday evening in Karlstad began with a tribute by one of Färjestad's major.

Peter Nordström, who together with Jörgen Jönsson and Pelle Prestberg formed one of the Swedish club hockey's best chains of all time, got to see his jersey number 19 lifted to the ceiling in Löfberg's arena.

Nordström won five SM gold in 14 seasons at the club and always worked as hard backwards as forward.

Therefore, it was fitting that two of the current two-way players of the Färjestads edition made the team's first two goals in the summit with Frölunda.

I need the wait

Daniel Viksten spends the matches in the fourth deformation but when he got the chance in front of goal in the first exchange for the evening he acted as an icy goal scorer. The 30-year-old waited, waited, and waited a little longer, and was then able to round away goalkeeper Niklas Rubin and put 1-0.

The next Färjestads goal made third chain Martin Johansson, the team's best forward in the plus / minus statistics (+6). Johansson was faster than Rubin from one post to the other when the puck bounced in the card and made sure the home team regained command in the match, 2-1.

New series tree

Victor Ejdsell and Czech sack Vojtech Mozik, with their first SHL goal, diluted to 4-1 and Färjestad got revenge for the 2-8 loss and the Champions Hockey League draw a week and a half ago.

Frölunda came to Karlstad as serial manager but, with the loss, had to leave that position to Luleå. Samuel Fagemo scored the team's only goal when he shot 1–1 in powerplay.

Ferjestad climbed past Örebro and is the new third in the table, a point behind Saturday's opponents.
