Friday 09.09.2016, 20:00 • Frölundaborgs Isstadion, Göteborg • Champions League • Group A
     
    What an incredible ending of the game for Wolfsburg who manages to seal the deal and make it to the playoffs.
    Frölunda still won the group and makes the playoff together with the germans. (22:25:35)
     
    Game over.
     
    58:44
    Frölunda timeout.
     
    58:10
    With 1:50 to go , Frölunda pull their goalie.
     
    57:00
    Just three minutes to play here in Frölundaborg. As Wolfsburg has the lead, they will make it to the playoffs if this result stands.
     
    54:49
    Goal for Wolfsburg!
    Yet again, Wolfsburg take advantage of a powerplay. Lubor Dibelka makes a great slap-pass which BRENT AUBIN tips in behind Johan Gustafsson and Wolfsburg are back in the lead.
    Assisted by Lubor Dibelka and Jeff Likens.
     
    53:50
    Wolfsburg gets a great chance here as Frölunda's Johan Sundström is penalized 2 minutes for cross-checking.
     
    53:05
    Nothing much to report as there aren't happening much on the ice right now. Remember that Wolfsburg still are through to the playoffs even if they win during overtime/shootout, therefore I get the impression of that they're very careful with this tied – not rushing and risk any goal in the back.
     
    48:44
    Great powerplay by Frölunda who has the puck in offensive zone almost for a whole 2 minutes, but Wolfsburg defends themselves really good and can kill the penalty.
     
    46:44
    Penalty for Grizzlys Wolfsburg (Lubor Dibelka – 2 min., hooking).
     
    45:52
    Mark Voakes, Wolfsburg, makes a great poke breaking a pass in the middle zone and gets it to Brent Aubin who almost gets a breakaway.
     
    45:34
    D-man of Frölunda, John Nyberg, tries a wrister shot from the blue line, but despite a lot of traffic up front, Vogl makes a glove save and blocks the puck.
     
    43:24
    Wolfsburg can't capitalize on this powerplay either as Frölunda are back on full strength.
     
    42:00
    Tyler Haskins creates a breakaway and just barely score, but Johan Gustafsson can make a save despite being down on the ice.
     
    41:24
    Penalty for Frölunda Gothenburg (Matt Donovan – 2 min., cross-checking).
     
    40:50
    Frölunda are back on full strength.
     
    40:02
    The 3rd period is underway and Wolfsburg starts it on the powerplay.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Wolfsburg started the 2nd period really good and pushed really hard to try increasing their lead, instead Frölunda came back scoring a goal that Sebastian Vogl possibly would like to have back when he looked quite surprissed getting beat by Mats Rosseli Olsen.
    Frölunda dominated the second half of the middle period and created a few really good chances, but Vogl took revenge and came out huge for his team and saving them from a deficit. We have a tied game going into the 3rd period.

    Shots: 17-11 (7-4, 10-7) .
