The Finn Henrik Borgström has been HV71’s very best player this season and he has only gotten better after the turn of the year where he brought the whole team with him.
It was also he who became HV’s hero when the team played evenly with Brynäs on home ice.
First, he assisted André Petersson’s 1–2 goal in the second.
“Pretty good at turning around”
A little later in the third, he made it 3-3 on his own.
And when it was time for extra time, he took off from the center zone, took care of the puck in the slot – and pulled in a wrist shot to make it 4-3.
Two points to HV71 – lead-heavy for the Smålands who are very much involved in the record-breaking streak battle in this year’s SHL.
– We have been quite good at turning games around, says Borgström on TV4.
