In the SHL,
In one battle of Wings prospects, Albert Johansson and Farjestads BK won 7-3 over Matias Brome and Orebro.
Albert Johansson had 4 shots on goal and finished at -1 in 16:52 of ice time, and he deked and dangled here:

Brome’s linemate, Borna Rendulic, got 25 minutes in penalties for a check to the head, so Brome finished even in 21:02 played;

Seider had an assist, took a penalty, finished even and played 20:14…
