It was an early exit from the junior WC in Canada for Sweden and even before that limited playing time for Jesper Wallstedt.

In addition, he did not have time for the flight that would have enabled an SHL comeback already against Rögle in Ängelholm on Tuesday.

But for the difficult away match against Frölunda, he was back in the Luleå goal.

It ended with a zero - thanks in part to a skate parade that at the last moment prevented Frölunda from reducing in the first period.

Target rockets were fired incorrectly

The situation was discussed, as the Frölunda players stopped playing when the club's goal rockets behind the goal went off - incorrectly, it would turn out.

- I think it goes in, so when the referee blows, I just think I send it out with the club tip, says Jesper Wallstedt.

- But then I see on the jumbo throne afterwards that I save it in the post and it is the club tip that keeps it on the right side.

So it was a bit lucky anyway.

Frölunda did not come close to a goal either.

Instead, Wallstedt countered all 21 shots and kept a clean sheet in the comeback.

But revenge?

The 18-year-old still does not want to go that far.

- No I do not know.

But I have had the attitude to want to prove that I think I could have played more.

You do not go to a JVM to sit on the bench, he says.
