Bobby Nardella is departing the Washington Capitals organization four years after signing with the club out of the University of Notre Dame.
Nardella signed a one-year contract with HV71 and will return to Sweden where he spent the 2020-21 campaign with Djurgardens IF, posting a team-high 33 points (7g, 26a) in 47 games.
“I have only heard good things about HV71 and Jönköping and know that it is a club with a lot of history and many fans,” Nardella said per a press release and translated by Google Translate. “I hope to contribute with a strong offense and produce points going forward, but also be a reliable two-way [defender] and who puts a lot of value in the defensive game.”
