HV71 has been strong in preparation for this year's season and "turned" a couple of players from tonight's opponent, Linköping. Including the team's most scoring player, Kennedy Marchment, who scored 52 points in 36 games.
- Kennedy Marchment is always fun to look at and there is a lot going on around her. But the most fun thing about looking at HV is that they have so many people involved and producing.
After only succeeding in winning eleven matches, an injured Linköping started to win in SDHL. Four of the last seven matches have ended with victory but now they are facing the series leader and the almost unstoppable HV71.
- It is a very tough match for Linköping with major injury concerns. On paper HV will win this match.
