Henrik Borgström was selected by the Florida Panthers in the 1st round, 23rd overall, in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, and this past season he proved that he was worthy of such a high selection.
The tall, skilled Finnish center was a force to be reckoned with for the University of Denver in 2016-17, putting up 22 goals and 21 assists in 37 games in just his first year in the NCAA. Borgström also capped off his season on a high note, as his Pioneers team edged Minnesota Duluth 3-2 to win the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship.
