World Juniors: Blackhawks prospect Gustav Forsling scores for Sweden vs. Denmark

The Swedish defenseman records the first point of the tournament by a Chicago prospect.

Chicago Blackhawks prospect Gustav Forsling scored in the first period for Sweden against Denmark in the team's third game in the 2016 World Junior Championship in Helsinki, Finland.

It's Forsling's first goal of the tournament and fourth overall, he scored three in eight games during the 2015 tournament.

Forsling, 19, has tallied two goals and 10 assists in 27 games this season for Linkoping HC. It is the defenseman's second season with the senior team. The Blackhawks acquired him last January in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks.
