On Wednesday, Örebro and Luleå play quarter final number four and before the match, Luleå leads the match series 2-1.
Robin Kovacs has scored six points in six matches in the playoffs and when Örebro will try to equalize the match series away from home, the forward star will not be involved.
On Tuesday afternoon, Robin Kovacs confirms that he is being beaten.
- Yes it is true.
I will not play tomorrow, the star tells TV4.
"Favors the team best"
Why he was poked is unclear, but the message was given to the 25-year-old by the coaches.
- They have decided that I should rest.
They have made decisions that benefit the team best, says Kovacs.
Örebro's head coach, Niklas Eriksson, chooses not to comment on the selection.
- It must stand for him.
We will match the team that we think is the best for us, says Niklas Eriksson to TV4.
