In Karlskoga, Sweden, on March 1, 2026, Anthony Nyberg, a 20-year-old goaltender, made his debut in Hockeyallsvenskan for BIK Karlskoga in a top match against MoDo. He recorded 17 saves and helped secure a 2-1 victory for his team. Nyberg reportedly played with Olof Lindbom's jersey, with the name taped over, as Lindbom was absent due to illness.
According to reports, Nyberg had been playing in division 2 the previous week and typically plays for Sunne IK in a lower division. The goaltending situation for BIK Karlskoga has been unstable throughout the season, with changes including the replacement of Trym Gran with Olof Lindbom and the loaning of players during absences. Commentator Richard Hermansson praised Nyberg's performance in the TV4 broadcast, calling it a strong effort.
