After two seasons in Leksand where he became the entire SHL's points league winner last year, Marek Hrivik left the club for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL.
But when the Russians missed the playoffs, it was clear that the Slovak would return in the final stages of this year's series.
Today he made a comeback in front of the home supporters in Tegera Arena when Luleå was visiting.
Hrivik accounted for one point in the match and played Max Véronneau to 2-1 in the middle of the night.
Leksand then had 4-1 when just under twelve minutes remained of the third period.
Then Luleå was responsible for a lightning turn.
Linus Omark reduced to 4-2 and when only 1.34 remained to play, Pontus Andreasson equalized.
The same Andreasson then set the decisive penalty when the match was to be decided.
- To come back the last match (turned against Örebro) and now again, it is really strong of us.
We have lost some key players, but still manage to force well, says Linus Omark in C More.
