    Frölunda won this game well-deserved, and it came quite clear that Linköping played their last game as late as yesterday.

    Dan Bakala in Frölunda's net managed to shut out the opponent for his third straight game, impressive!

    Goal scorers:
    Johan Sundström, Simon Hjalmarsson, Victor Olofsson and Robin Figren.

    Shots: 26-29 (11-7, 9-11, 6-11)

    We're in to the final minute of this game.
     
    58:51
    Linköping can't create anything out of the powerplay and Frölunda are back on full strength.
     
    56:51

    54:53
    Frölunda's Christoffer Ehn breaks a pass and gets a breakaway on the penalty kill, but Jacob Johansson makes a great save for Linköping.

    52:53
    Penalty for Frölunda Gothenburg (Sebastian Stålberg – 2 min., hooking).
     
    52:00
    It is getting clearer that Linköping played a game yesterday as they're running out of energy. They're trying and trying, but Dan Bakala are extremely solid tonight and seems to not let any puck go through him tonight...either.

    Dan Bakala comes up huge when Linköping creates a great, great attack. Despite their hunger, Dan can keep the puck out of the net.

    Eddie Larsson cross-checks Robin Figren, who gets into a scrum with another Linköping player after the incident and both Larsson & Figren heads to the penalty box.

    Goal for Frölunda!
    ROBIN FIGREN release the big boomer and scores 4-0 on the powerplay. Assisted by Carl Grundström and Simon Hjalmarsson.
     
    42:16
    Penalty for Linköping HC (Niklas Persson – 2 min., interference).
     
    41:37
    Interesting start of the period. Just recently, Linköping had a great chance of cutting the deficit when Jakob Lilja deflects a puck, but he can't beat Bakala.
    Frölunda turned the puck around and created a counter-attack, but the shot wasn't dangerous enough.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    We have an interesting period coming up. How much dare Linköping to go offensively to cut the deficit without risking any more goals against? And besides, Dan Bakala in Frölunda's net have shut out his opponents for a 160 minutes-span for the moment. Will it last another 20 for his 3rd straight shut out?
     
    The tempo wasn't really that high in the second as in the first, but it was a good period which Frölunda took most advantage of and scored three goals (Johan Sundström, Simon Hjalmarsson and Victor Olofsson).
