Frolunda HC U20 took it 3-1 in Malmo, and they did it by scoring first in every period that mattered. A goal in each of the opening two frames left the Redhawks chasing all night, and the visitors never surrendered the lead.
Frolunda struck at the 6th minute to go up 0-1, then doubled it at the 26th for 0-2 after 40. Malmo got one back early in the third, but Frolunda answered at the 44th minute, and that response was the turning point that closed the door on any comeback.
The number that tells the story: Frolunda scored in all three periods, one apiece, while Malmo managed a single goal across 60 minutes. A 3-1 final in regulation, with the visitors never trailing.
