Frölunda had an extremely light schedule this week and it may have cost them a win.
They played the second semifinal of their Champions Hockey League series on Tuesday, and it was a dull and extremely easy will over the Swiss competitors Fribourg-Gotteron. Grundström had one of the late goals. Their aggregate score was 9-1 in the two games, so Frölunda cruises to their third straight CHL final against the Czech team Sparta Prague. The final is one game, played in early February.
After they came home from that fun Swiss vacation, Frölunda faced last year’s championship opponent, Skellefteå.
