Frölunda managed to turn around the 0-1 deficit before the final period at home against Örebro and won 3-1 thanks to goals by Christian Folin and Mikael Ruohomaa, as well as Noah Hasa's puck into an empty net at the end.
A nice comeback, in other words, for Peterson, who realizes that he needs time to adapt to his new environment.
I'm trying to get into it as much as I can in a new playing system and with new teammates, find my game with the puck, win battles and be able to produce offensively and help out defensively, says Jacob Peterson.
"No time to waste"
He came to Frölunda as early as 16 years old, played a few seasons in the club before moving to Färjestad and further to the NHL.
Before this season, he was a high-profile recruit in Rögle, but did not live up to expectations. The contract for two plus one seasons was terminated. Now, Peterson is instead sitting with a contract over the 2026-2027 season with Frölunda.
It feels good to be here now and get started right away. It's gone fast, but it feels good to be here now and get started right away. There's no time to waste, says Jacob Peterson to TV4 play.
Frölunda coach Roger Rönnberg welcomes the returnee.
He comes from a tough autumn and we'll make sure he gets better every day he's with us, says Rönnberg to TV4 play.
Lasu on par with Sundin
Veteran Nicklas Lasu is also happy to have Peterson on the team.
Great, we've had a shortage of personnel in that position. It's a face we recognize and a good guy to have here with us. It's very positive. Hope he can come here and show how good he is, says Lasu to TV4 play.
Lasu moved up alongside Ronnie Sundin among players with the most matches in Frölunda. Both have 705 matches.
It's a lot of matches and fun to be on that list. It's gone fast, but I've got a bit left in me, actually
Joel Lundqvist tops the list with 915 matches.
