Also starting his season was Karl Henriksson, who looked great on Frolunda’s top line with Joel Lundqvist in their shutout of Lias Andersson’s HV71. Adam Edstrom played just 2 minutes and was ejected with 25 PIMs in his opener.

Yegor Rykov finished with a +2 as his strong season continued in the KHL.
