2. But a kick pass from Jonatan Berggren to teammate Andreas Wingerli tied the game at 2…

3. And Berggren set up the go-ahead goal (which didn’t last as the “go-ahead goal” for long in a high-scoring game):

Albert Johansson (Farjestads BK vs. Leksands IF), Joe Veleno and Malte Setkov (Malmo Redhawks vs. Oskarshamn) and Matias Brome (Orebro vs. Vaxjo) are also playing today as all 5 SHL games being played today feature Red Wings prospects.
For Frolunda, Elmer Soderblom got demoted to the 13th forward, and Theodor Niederbach sat out the game…

After a long stretch of goal-less play, Rogle pulled ahead with 1:38 remaining in the 3rd period…
MÅÅL! Med 1:38 kvar av tredje gör Ben Smith 5-4 till Rögle, assist Anton Bengtsson. #roglebk— Rögle BK (@rogle_bk) October 24, 2020

And Rogle won 5-4.
Watching Soderblom on the play, he shows remarkable balance for a big man. He goes to the net, should be off balance, but he has the strength to dig his edges in and remain upright. He is only going to get stronger and harder to handle. Thanks as usual for this George.
