Defender suspended - misses Leksand's fateful SHL qualifier against HV71

The disciplinary committee's decision: he has been suspended for two games. This means the defender will miss Leksand's crucial match against HV71 in the SHL qualifiers. "This is incredibly sad," Anton Johansson tells Expressen.

The Dala team is in a tough situation in the qualifiers against HV71, which are about staying in the SHL. After three straight losses, only a win will do when the clubs face each other on Tuesday.

Leksand will have to play without Anton Johansson.

The defender received a match penalty in the last meeting and the disciplinary committee decided that he will be suspended for two games - which means that Johansson will have to sit in the stands as Leksand fights to stay in the SHL.

It's sad, of course. These are the kinds of matches you want to play and you always want to be there and help the team, he tells Expressen.

We have to win four games. There is nothing else.
