The heated bottom meeting between HV71 and Rögle got an attention-grabbing start.
This when Simon Ryfors was tackled by Henrik Borgström in one of the corners. Röglestjärnan was lying on the ice for a while before he got out of the booth and left the game bloodied.
“Feeling fine under the circumstances”
Ryfors was then taken to hospital.
“Simon Ryfors got an injury in the first change of the match. He has been taken to hospital to be stitched up and undergo further examination. He is doing well under the circumstances,” the club writes in its channels.
Borgström had to leave with a match penalty for “tackle from behind”.
Twelve minutes into the match, Anton Bengtsson gave the guests the lead via a header after overcoming the five-minute numerical deficit.
