The 30-year-old Slovak scored two goals and two assists in seven Olympic matches in Beijing. This season he has scored 23 points (9 goals, 14 assists) in 44 games for the KHL club Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod.
But it is for its two seasons in Leksand that the hard-working and strong center is known to the Swedish audience.

Hrivík scored 30 points during his first SHL season and 51 points during last year’s season.
Leksand, on the other hand, will manage without him against Rögle on Thursday. Then no one from the forward trio Linus Andersson, Emil Heineman or Justin Kloos can play either.
