The 38-year-old defender suffered a hand injury in Finland's Olympic group stage match against Canada (0–5) a week and a half ago.

"The doctors do not expect the hand injury to heal completely before the Swedish Championship playoffs are over," Luleå writes on its website.

The SDHL restarts on Wednesday after the Olympic tournament in Milan. Two rounds of the season remain before the Swedish Championship playoffs, which begin next week.
