Via Red Wings Prospects on Twitter, the Swedish Under-20 leagues have begun their regular season play ahead of next Saturday’s SHL opener, and here’s how two Red Wings prospects fared:
2022 draft pick Anton Johansson finished at -1 with 3 shots and a minor penalty taken in Leksands IF’s 7-2 loss to Brynas.
It’s still entirely possible that Johansson will crack the roster of the Leksands men’s team, but for now, he’s earning some Under-20 league time;
And the “oh yeah, the other Swede the Wings drafted in 2022” guy, Maximilian Kilpinen, finished even in Orebro HK’s 4-1 win over the Vaxjo Lakers.
Kilpinen is highly likely to stay with Orebro’s J20 team.
