Prospect round-up: Finns in play and banged-up Swedes

Of prospect-related note:

In the Finnish Liiga, Eemil Viro finished at +1 in 14:41 played as TPS Turku won 2-1 over KooKoo. Victor Brattstrom didn’t dress for KooKoo;

Otto Kivenmaki had an assist and finished at -1 in 15:06, winning 56% of his faceoffs, and Kasper Kotkansalo finished at -2 in 17:15 as Assat Pori lost 5-2 to the Lahti Pelicans;

In the Swedish Allsvenskan, Gustav Lindstrom played only 9:51, and didn’t play in the third period in Almtuna’s 4-3 loss to Mora IK. That indicates an injury of some sort. Filip Larsson is also injured for Almtuna;

William Wallinder also didn’t play in MODO Hockey’s 2-1 loss to Vasterviks IK;

And in North America, on Thursday, in the USHL, Keith Aucoin had an assist and finished at +2 in the Tri-City Storm’s 5-2 win over Omaha.

Update: Also, regarding Frolunda Indians forward Elmer Soderblom, from The Athletic’s Max Bultman:

Update #2: Kienan Draper took a double-minor penalty for slew-footing in the Chilliwack Chiefs’ 5-4 loss to Coquitlam.
