Tweets of note: Eddie Genborg registers a goal and an assist at the World Junior Summer Showcase

Red Wings prospect Eddie Genborg has had a quiet World Junior Summer Showcase for Sweden, but today in Minneapolis, he registered a goal and an assist in Sweden’s 8-4 win over Canada.

Genborg’s goal was a net-front tip-in (and Steven Ellis’ goal clip comes from Red Wings Prospects on Twitter)…

And he had a power play assist on Eric Nilson’s goal via a blueline shot:

Eric Nilson (ANA) has his second of the game on the rebound to make it 6-2 Sweden. Nilson can do a little bit of everything, but the offensive production here is an added bonus. Putting himself firmly on the radar to make the team in December. #WJSS

These games are “summer shinny,” but they’re also important in terms of establishing a pecking order for Sweden, Finland, Team USA and Team Canada’s World Junior teams. To see Genborg score from his office and then register a power play assist is good news in terms of making some concrete impacts.

We’re not talking about landing a spot on the Tre Kronor because of a goal and an assist in August, but it’s good nonetheless.
