HV71 has a difficult season in the SHL.

The team is third last in the table with 38 points, and has played significantly more matches than Brynäs and Malmö which are below in the table.

Today came a sad news for HV71.

Johannes Kinnvall, who has scored 22 points in 29 games in the SHL, has suffered a ligament injury.

- The examination with magnetic camera confirms the assessment that was made initially.

It is a ligament injury and it means that he is away from games for up to 8 weeks, says physiotherapist Andreas Frostemark to the club's website.
