Even Swedish meeting ended in a draw

Frölunda took command at the start of the match against Luleå with a fantastic solo goal in the first period.

Defender Andreas Borgman, who was back in the game, broke the deadlock after a solo raid to make it 1-0 after eight minutes.

- I get a good gap up in the cross, so it's just a matter of splashing it there, said Frölundas Borgman during the break after the first period.

But after a video review, Luleå equalized at 1-1 in the power play, 1-1 through Brendan Shinnimin in the second period after just over six minutes played.
