We are looking forward to an exciting match. (21:56:38)
The two topscorer of the Champions Hockey League are responsible for the 4-2 lead for ingolstadt. PETR TATICEK scores after a pass to the slot by Laliberte. Assisted by: John Laliberte and Brian Lebler.
Frolunda came out of the dressing room with enery, but it's a little bit too complicated what the current top-runner of the Swedish league is playing.
It's a goal. JARED ROSS deflected the puck into the net. Assisted by Danny Irmen.
Powerplay goal for Ingolstadt and the game is tied. DANNY IRMEN scores the rebound, after Alexander Barta circled around the net. Assisted by: Alexander Barta
But now Lebler's wrist shot is deflected wide by Gustafsson. That was the best chance in this period so far.
This game has the characteristic of a practice match for Frolunda. They control the puck and the whole game, but they have to improve their scoring efficiency. Ingolstadt was better in this, they scored their goal with the single good chance they had in this period. All in all it is a lucky result for the German vice-champion.
ALEXANDER BARTA with a goal. His shot finds it's way into the net. But it was not impossible to save this one.
Quick and great starts from Frölunda this fall.
Next goal for Frolunda. ARTTURI LEHKONEN scores with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle right under the cross bar. No chance for Pielmeier.
Not many good scoring chances in the last couple minutes.
First powerplay, first goal. Frolunda shows his strenght. JOEL LUNDQVIST is completely alone in the slot and scores by a backhander.
