Already in the first period of the 2-0 victory in the EHT tournament in Malmö, André Petersson was forced to step off with a feared knee injury.
- Of course incredibly unfortunate, Kent Norberg said then.
He did not return to play during the match and in today's match against Finland Marcus Sörensen took the HV71 forward's place in the first chain.
When Petersson can be back in the game and exactly what the injury is is still unclear.
Petersson is HV71's best scorer this season with 29 points in 37 games.
HV71 is currently second to last in the SHL and thus needs to climb the table to avoid a negative qualification.
