Rhett Rakshani scored the match-winning goal when he pushed in his own return for 2-1 a couple of minutes after Eklund painstakingly slipped off the ice.
Filip Cederqvist then made it 3-1 in an empty box with 19 seconds left.
- Every match is important to us now, says Marcus Sörensen in C More.
Djurgården was down 0-1 when Eklund got a heavy push from Andreas Borgman who put the shoulder to the head with full force.
Borgman got a two-minute interference but the zoo camp was upset that there was no match penalty.
Dick Axelsson ran wildly with the club in the rim from the booth to show his dissatisfaction.
- Efficiency is not there.
We have super positions, but their goalkeeper (Alexander Salak) is upside down.
Our second period is cash, third the better, but we must have at least one point from here, says Frölunda's Joel Lundqvist.
The bottom battle has become a wasp nest with 7-8 rounds left where Djurgården, Timrå, Malmö and to some extent Brynäs are involved.
