"It feels great to come home [...] I have been mulling over this, but last night I and Leffe (Leif Carlsson, general manager) sat here in the arena and I decided to sign", says the 29-year-old forward.

It is a return home for the Swede, as he had already played for Färjestad from 2005 to 2013. Although Johansson originally planned to stay in Switzerland after his contract with the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers had been voided, it seems like he has found the right fit. In 51 games for the Lakers, he has scored nine goals and 36 assists. (mso)
