Now Nicklas Bäckström has played his first competitive match in Brynäs after his return home.
It became an assist point for the hockey star when Brynäs defeated Austrian Klagenfurt in the CHL tournament with 4–2.
The former Washington center assisted Jakob Silfverberg's 3–1 goal in the last period.
Tyler Vesel, Johannes Kinnvall and Lucas Pettersson made Brynäs' other goals in Brynäs' second match, and second win, in this season's CHL games.
Swedish forward Mario Kempe has just gone to Klagenfurt after playing in Finnish Tappara last season. He accounted for an assist point.
