However, in Saturday’s premiere against last year’s master’s team Luleå, they are forced to manage without one of their key pieces.
It is forward Carl Persson, intended third link next to Koukkanen and Pajuniemi, who miss the match. For a good and positive reason. He and his partner Melissa will be parents in the days.
– Yes, we have a plan of course. But it is secondary in this situation. Now it is about everything going well for him and his partner at home, says coach Tomas checks to Sydsvenskan.
Persson, 30, steps into his eighth straight season with the Redhawks and has been an important cog in recent years by contributing between 10-15 goals per season. Last year he was second behind the slope Lassi Thomson in the internal goal league with his 13 hits. In 52 matches he produced a total of 25 points and added 2+1 in the final game’s eight matches.
Malmö goes on to Karlstad and meets Färjestad on Away on Tuesday. There, Carl Persson could join the team.
