Edstrom saves pressured Frölunda

A pressured Frölunda managed to take a long-awaited win. David Edstrom scored twice when Modo was defeated away with 2–1. This gives a lot of energy, says the matchwinner.

Three losses in the first five matches have made Frölunda coach Roger Rönnberg irritated. This was not how his twelfth and final season in the top club was supposed to start.

"Unacceptable" said Rönnberg about the loss on Tuesday, 1–4 at home against Örebro.

It was not as if Rönnberg was overly enthusiastic about Thursday's performance, but a three-pointer was the main thing.

Nice, especially after the latest loss against Örebro when we didn't reach the level, says Edstrom to TV4.

Strong in front of the goal

David Edstrom scored already after 5.20 of the first period when he scored his first goal of the season.

With 3.30 left of the match, Edstrom scored again.

Two goals that were similar and came after strong play in front of the opponent's goal.

That's where the goals are made. We are much better today, fighting more and are strong on the puck, says Edstrom when comparing to the Örebro match.

But penalties almost ruined it for Frölunda.

Modo reduced through Måns Carlsson in 5-on-3 play after 19.19, but time did not allow for an equalizer despite an empty net and 6-on-4 play.

Modo had two straight home wins in the season opener, but now got zero in front of their home crowd.

Four straight goals in the turnaround

HV71 took their first win of the season on Tuesday against Modo and it started well away against Örebro with a 3–1 lead.

But the home team scored four straight goals – two by sharpshooter Patrik Karlkvist – and could win 5–3.

Luleå started the season with three straight wins, but now suffered their third straight loss away against Malmö.

Lassi Thomson became Malmö's winner when he scored 3–2 in overtime.
