In Saturday’s game between Mora IK and HV71, Maple Leafs prospect Pierre Engvall was seriously hurt and required surgery today after a hit from Micheal Haga.
You can see the hit below as Haga in red takes out Engvall, 88 in white.
Mora is Engvall’s former team, but Haga is a new recruit this season. Engvall has been playing on the fourth line on the defending champions, HV71, and has one goal and three assists in eight games.
According to news reports, Engvall is likely to miss many months of playing time, perhaps the full season.
