Nylander back - as game winner

Linköping HC - MODO Hockey 1 - 2 (0-1, 0-0, 1-1) 

William Nylander returned home to Sweden and got a great start of the SHL comeback. As center of the first line he won 11 of 14 faceoffs and he scored the 2-0 goal, that turned out to be game-winning, on a break-away.

Simon Önerud scored 1-0 for MODO at 8 minutes while his team played shorthanded. Linköping's only goal came in the last minute by Jeff Taffe when the goalie David Rautio was pulled from the net and replaced with an extra attacker.

"He does it very well", says MODO's assistant coach Henrik Gradin to modohockey.se about William Nylander. "William is a fantastic player in the offense and that he showed several times tonight. He is difficult to read for the opponents and a constant threat when he enters the attacking zone with puck control. The line with William, Gustav Possler and Per-Åge Skrøder is our best tonight.
