Adam Engström named in Sweden’s preliminary WJC squad.
Dec 7, 2022 - 10:22 AMAdam Engström has been named in the preliminary squad for Sweden’s World Junior Championship challenge. There will be cuts to Swedens squad before the final roster is handed in. However, Engström has taken quite a few leaps forward this season, from being thought of as a leader on Rögles U20 team to a top four deployment with Rögle’s SHL team.
Engström has 4 (3+1) points in 21 games in SHL this season, and in the Champions Hockey League Engström has played seven games with a goal and an assist each. The step up from U20’s in Sweden to the professional ranks has been a revelation, and Engström might be one of, if not the, most underrated prospect in the Canadiens system.
One defender will be cut from the squad before the tournament starts, with Simon Edvinsson, Elias Salomonsson and Mattias Hävelid all out, Adam Engström should be a shoe in for the team Sweden in Canada.
