Of Red Wings prospect-related note:
In the Champions Hockey League, Skelleftea AIK won a 3-2 overtime decision over the Pinguins Bremerhaven. Skelleftea has already clinched a playoff spot, and they’ll play in the “round of 16” on November 12th or 13th.
Axel Sandin Pellikka played on the 3rd defensive pairing, but he posted an assist, 4 penalty minutes, 2 shots on goal and 2 blocked shots in 16:29 played, finishing even;
And Michael Brandsegg-Nygard played on the 1st line, finishing even with 2 shots and a blocked shot in 19:56 played.
Axel Sandin Pellikka(1st round’23 for Skellefteå) draws a penalty after beating his man. On the ensuing power play he picks up this secondary assist 🍏 #LGRW #Skeaik pic.twitter.com/6SDP40J07D

The Swedish media is really pissed off about this set of penalties called to Sandin Pellikka when he got into it with Anders Gronlund.

There’s also a lengthy interview with Brandsegg-Nygard in Expressen, but it’s stuck behind a paywall (all of it).
Axel Sandin Pellikka(1st round’23 for Skellefteå) is rightfully pissed. He gets 2 min for unsportsmanlike and 2 for roughing. Grönlund(scumbag) gets 5 and the game for fighting with a full bubble cage on. #LGRW #Skeaik pic.twitter.com/acgetIVLkc
