Olli Palola did not get it right at IFK Helsingfors during the start of this season and left the club after two goals and three assists in 23 games played.

The moving load went to Timrå, and there the Finn got a new start.

A goal in the debut was followed up by another in Thursday's losing match against HV71 and today he sent in the important 2–1 goal against Frölunda with a rock-hard shot straight into the crossbar at the end of the second period.

Frölunda went for an equalizer in the third period, but Timrå managed to hold off and pick up three points after Erik Walli-Walterholm sent in 3-1 in an open box.

- I think we get better and better the longer the match goes on, I think we drive the match in the third and we create enough to score at least one goal.

I suffer with the guys who don't get points today, says Frölunda's coach Roger Rönnberg in C More.

Timrås team captain Anton Lander:

- We created more chances in the last game but didn't get the puck in, but it's really crappy, it's the points that count.
