HV71 defeats Växjö Lakers in key SHL match

HV71 secured a 3-0 victory over Växjö Lakers at home on Thursday, providing a boost ahead of their relegation qualifier. Forward William Ignberg Nilsson, who has faced injury challenges in his two seasons with the club, highlighted the team's improved form and his personal methods for relaxation. The win helps build momentum for the upcoming playoff series.

William Ignberg Nilsson joined HV71 ahead of the previous season, marking his debut in the SHL after playing for AIK. His time with the club has been marked by injuries, including one that sidelined him for nearly the entire prior campaign, limiting him to just 18 regular-season games. This season, he has appeared in 30 matches, recording five points despite ongoing injury issues.

Now recovered, Ignberg Nilsson feels more confident. "Det är tufft, såklart, med lite skador och skit. Men jag känner mig hel och fräsch nu," he said. "Sen jag kom tillbaka från min förra skada har jag lirat med samma spelare och det har gått bra." He currently plays on the team's fourth line alongside William Eriksson and Victor Laz, contributing to solid performances, particularly in the first period against Växjö. "Jag tycker verkligen att vi kompletterar varandra bra," Ignberg Nilsson noted. "Det är riktigt kul att spela med Eriksson och Laz."

The Thursday match against Växjö Lakers ended in a shutout win for HV71, their third consecutive victory. Goaltender Lassie earned praise for his performance. "Skönt att ta tre poäng och Lassie spikar igen," Ignberg Nilsson commented. "Det är jäkligt skönt för Lassie och för oss också. Han har verkligen stöttat oss när han inte har spelat."

HV71 enters the relegation qualifier for the third straight year but aims for home-ice advantage, starting with their final regular-season game against Brynäs on Saturday. "Såklart, det är bra att gå in med en skön känsla där," Ignberg Nilsson said. Supporters displayed a banner reading, "Vi har gjort det förut, vi gör det igen. 4 segrar tillsammans för staden." The player emphasized the fans' support: "Vi har stöttning från dem, det känns. Vi ska göra det här för dem och för oss själva."

To unwind, Ignberg Nilsson turns to activities away from hockey. "Efter träningen åker jag iväg på eftermiddagarna, bastar och pluggar till jägarexamen," he explained, adding that he enjoys time in the countryside, fishing, and breathing fresh air.
