DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings today signed defenseman Albert Johansson to a three-year entry-level contract
Johansson, 19, was one of the most productive young defensemen in Sweden's top professional league in 2019-20, posting 13 points (2-11-13) in 42 Swedish Hockey League games with Farjestad BK. He was the third-highest scoring junior-aged defenseman in the league and was tied for eighth among all players under age 20 in points as a first-year pro. Johansson logged five points (0-5-5) in his final four games of the season, as the SHL canceled its season just prior to the start of postseason play.
