A bit of praise for Jontan Berggren

The Hockey News’s Ryan Kennedy gives Jonatan Berggren a pat on the back for his strong start with Skelleftea AIK of the SHL, in an article discussing the “hottest” players in European hockey…

Jonatan Berggren, C, Skelleftea (SHL): Speed, smarts and great hands are Berggren’s trademarks and the Detroit Red Wings prospect has really been putting all three together with 13 points in nine games for Skelleftea, making him the third-highest scorer in the league right now. The 2017 second-rounder has already eclipsed the 12 points in 24 games he had in the SHL last season.

It should be noted, however, that Berggren and Skelleftea AIK won’t play Djurgardens IF on Thursday as scheduled. Expressen reports that Djurgarden has had one player test positive for the coronavirus, and two other players have taken ill, so Thursday’s game has been postponed.
