Lias Andersson on HV comeback: "Sickly cool"

Andersson became pointless in his comeback where he was set as extra forward. The 21-year-old, who took the SM gold with HV71 in 2017, took no place in the NHL New York Rangers team after spending the fall in the team, he felt mentally ill and chose to move home.

He is loaned by Rangers and the plan was actually to make a comeback after the upcoming national break.

- He is full of energy, it has been difficult to keep him away. He already wanted to play against Oskarshamn on Thursday, coach Stephan Lundh told C More.

Andersson had not played a match since mid-December.

"It was fun to play, I'm glad the body felt good and we won," said Lias Andersson, who had 11.12 in ice time.

He was grateful for the reception he received in front of packed stands, 7,000 spectators.

- They have a great love for me and I for them. That means a lot, he said.

HV took their fourth straight victory in SHL, their third straight derby victory over Växjö this season and their second derby victory in three days after the win over Oskarshamn on Thursday. Three of the goals came in numerical superiority and Linus Sandin became a two-goal shooter.

Växjö, who fell to Luleå by 1-5 on Thursday, has a terrible 1-10 in two matches.
