Holmqvist Strong in Victory Over MODO

Submitted by pete on October 6, 2005 - 14:19

Andreas Holmqvist is finding that his new promotion to the first pairing in Linkopings suits him. After notching his first point of the season in the club's last game, Holmqvist today notched his first goal and first multi-point game as Linkopings defeated MODO 4-1. The defenseman scored a power play goal early in the second period to knot the game at 1-1 and then assisted on Linkopings' final goal, a talley by Jussi Tarvainen, early in the third. Holmqvist now has 3 points in 5 games this season.

Goaltender Fredrik Norrena stopped 23 of 24 shots faced to go to a perfect 5-0 on the season.

According to the Grand Forks Herald , University of North Dakota defenseman Matt Smaby was named team captain by his teammates this week.

"I think he's a guy who has a natural presence to him," Coach Dave Hakstol told The Herald. "I think this is good timing for this kind of a step for him. He's been a leader on teams before and I think he's ready to be a captain at this level."
