Frölunda got off to a good start in the tough away match against league runner-up Växjö.

Robin Alvarez gave the visitors the lead with his tenth goal of the season.

Late into the initial period, however, the Smålanders' equalizer came through Richard Gynge (17th goal) before Brendan Gaunce gave Växjö the lead at the beginning of the second.

Tackled the goalkeeper

Then the situation arose which is talked about after the match.

Frölunda's Christoffer Ehn had taken a position in front of Växjö's goal.

When the puck went down in the corner and he was going to get there, he knocked over Växjö's goalkeeper Viktor Fasth on the way there.

Ehn had to leave with a match penalty while Viktor Fasth was able to complete the match despite the blow that seems to take in the back of his head.

Chance of a series victory

Frölunda's Nicklas Lasu reduced to 2-3 with ten minutes left of the third period, but they did not get closer than that.

With the victory, Växjö has continued everything in its own hands in terms of the battle for the series victory in the SHL.

Rögle, who is currently in the table but who has finished playing, stands at 98 points, while Växjö is second in his 96 with three matches left to play.
