Frolunda HC took a 2-1 decision in Malmo, flipping the game with a two-goal third period after 40 scoreless-for-them minutes. Everything that mattered came late: the visitors trailed 1-0 into the final frame and won it in regulation.
Oliwer Kaski put Malmo ahead at the 20th minute, with Eemil Viro credited on the assist, and that 1-0 edge held through a blank second period. Graeme Clarke tied it at 49 off a feed from Samuel Fagemo, and Frolunda struck again at 59 for the 1-2 final — the turning point being a third period the hosts lost 0-2.
The number that frames it: 0-2 in the third for Malmo after carrying a lead through two. Clarke's equalizer, set up by Fagemo, was the swing goal; the Redhawks were left with a single marker on the night.
