Prospect Watch: Hallander’s new hunger

Filip Hallander returned to game action on Dec. 28 for the first time since he fractured his foot on Sept. 17, his second game of the season.

Hallander, 19, is in his first season with Lulea in the Swedish Hockey League after his previous SHL club, Timra, was relegated to the second-tier Allsvenskan league last spring.

Since returning from injury, Hallander has recorded two assists in three games, bringing his season totals to three assists in five games.

"It feels f------ fun, of course," Hallander told HockeySverige.se this week in a Swedish interview.
