Frolunda lost 0:8 without Duchene

Frolunda Indians played another game at the European Trophy tournament. The Swedish team faced the Finish HIFK Helsinki at the home ice in front of only 818 fans. Shockingly, the home team lost 0:8. Matt Duchene did not play in the game; it was his first absence during the lockout.

We do not have any information if he is injured or not or he just needed to rest. We will inform you as we have something new. Eurolanche will contact Frolunda team on tomorrow´s morning of the European time.

Duchene played in four games in Sweden; gained three points for one goal and two assists. All four games were played within the local elite Swedish hockey league; any of them was a part of the European Trophy. More about the format of the European Trophy could be found here.

Varlamov has appeared in seven games, won five and lost only two. His save percentage is 92.7 and GAA is 2.36.
