"It feels great to get Tobias back to Djurgården. We have wanted to add a mobile game-skilled two-way back and Tobias has many of the qualities we were looking for in his game ", says Djurgården's sports manager Joakim Eriksson to the club's website.

Last month, the decision was made that the SHL will allow players who have contracts in both the SHL and the NHL to play in the Swedish ice hockey league when the season starts in September.

“There is, of course, an uncertainty factor in how long Tobias will remain in our service. He is first and foremost a LA Kings player and when their training camp for the NHL season 2020-21 starts in early November, Tobias will go to North America to try to take a regular place in the LA Kings ", Joakim Eriksson continues.

Tobias Björnfot has played three games in the NHL and 44 in the AHL. Last winter he took part and took the JVM bronze with the Junior crowns.

Djurgården will meet in the SHL premiere Örebro on away ice on 19 September.
