Linus Nyman moves to the League – a true surprise destination: “We decided to seize the opportunity”
This week, the forward Linus Nyman, who terminated his contract in Sweden, is moving to Porin Ässät with a 1+1 year deal.
The 26-year-old Nyman played the beginning of the season with the HockeyAllsvenskan team IK Oskarshamn. The former forward of Ässät’s arch-rival Rauman Lukko recorded 1+3=4 points in 14 games.
– Nyman has good offensive skills and plays strongly in both directions. He will bring more options to the team, especially for the power play. When the opportunity arose to strengthen the team with a quality domestic player at this stage of the season, we decided to seize the opportunity, Ässät’s sports director Jarno Kultanen said in a statement.
Before moving to Sweden, Nyman spent seven seasons with Lukko. He has a total of 375 regular season games in the Liiga (59+100=159) and 42 playoff games (2+6). Nyman won the Finnish championship with Lukko in 2021.
Nyman will join the Porin team on Thursday. Ässät will face TPS on Friday and Saturday.
