Frölunda Clinches Ninth Consecutive SHL Win with a 5-2 Triumph over Rögle

On December 26, 2025, Frölunda secured their ninth straight victory in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) by defeating Rögle 5-2, extending their dominance at the top of the league standings. The victory brought Frölunda's point total to 70, reinforcing their position as league leaders.

Frölunda launched the match with a strong offensive, scoring two rapid goals in the first period and establishing an early 2-0 lead. Jacob Peterson was a standout contributor, netting his seventh goal of the season following a solo effort where he skillfully bypassed defenders to score into the top corner of the net. Peterson dedicated this goal to his father, coinciding with his birthday.

The team extended their lead to 3-0 during the second period, with Nicklas Lasu adding a goal after a clever play against Rögle's defence. Lasu described his goal by saying, “It usually goes well when I don't think too much. My goals are either really ugly or really nice.” Though Rögle managed to score two goals, including one assisted by Lubos Horky to Fredrik Olofsson, it was insufficient to challenge Frölunda’s control of the game.

Rögle’s head coach Dan Tangnes expressed frustration with his squad’s passive approach and lack of intensity, which he felt allowed Frölunda to capitalize on their strengths.

This win reflects Frölunda’s continued strong performance this season as they aim to maintain their winning streak in the SHL.
