I was alerted this via Google email alerts, which led me to a story from GT.se’s Martin Aghassi stating that Simon Edvinsson of the Frolunda Indians (the Wings’ 6th overall pick in this summer’s entry draft) got hit in the shoulder while playing a preseason game vs. Leksands, but was deemed to be OK by coach Roger Ronnberg…
But it should not surprise anyone that IceHockeyGifs was on the case:

#32 Kandergård is hit by Edvinsson in the first sequence. In the next he makes a dangerous hit on Edvinsson. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/mcHD66HgEK

Of note here: Soderblom is listed on the 3rd line. Niederbach is the 13th forward and Edvinsson is listed in the top pairing.
