The silky forward was finalized late for Linköping and arrived in town at the end of August from Swiss Lausanne.
But he has adapted quickly.
It became a penalty goal and an assist when Linköping won over newcomer Brynäs with 3–2 in front of a sold-out crowd, 8,150 spectators.
I was positively surprised, nice tifo and good pressure. As long as we deliver and win matches, they will come back, says the 27-year-old Stockholm native who previously represented Örebro and Luleå in SHL.
He was recruited as a player who, with his point production, should be able to make a difference.
And he made a difference already in his debut with the assist to 1–1 and an ice-cold penalty goal to 2–1.
Absolute, really nice. As a point player, you want to get going as quickly as possible. It's nice to score goals and points in the first match, says Kovács.
