IK’s line-up has been reshuffled ahead of the meeting with Vimmerby.
Ludvig Markman is out with a lower-body injury and will be replaced by Wille Nilsson. Pontus Näsén and Manne Ågren are ill, while Matt Brown, Ville Svensson and Albin Larsson will sit out as a precaution.
That gives U20 players Melker Vidsäter and Arvid Söderkvist their opportunity. IK have also brought in Oskarshamn native Albin Laksonen on loan from Tyringe.
IK will dress seven defencemen for the game.
