After the trip to North America, where he played for Toronto, Tampa Bay, and Dallas organizations, the moving truck made a swing back home to Frölunda before heading abroad again. This time to Switzerland, and Fribourg-Gottéron, where he played for two seasons.

Now it's clear that he's returning to Sweden and HV71, where he won the SM gold with the club during the 2016/17 season.

It's going to be incredibly fun to come back to Jönköping and play in front of all you HV fans. We've had really great memories together and I hope we'll create a few more, he says in a greeting on the club's social media.

Borgman has 13 points in 55 NHL matches in his career, and most recently comes from a season in Switzerland that meant five points in 36 matches in the regular season.
