One of the first people Oskar Sundqvist talked to after being traded to the Detroit Red Wings was Nicklas Lidstrom, the legendary defenseman turned team executive. One of Sundqvist's first laughs came when he shared a memory of going up against another former Wings defenseman: Niklas Kronwall.
The two Swedes used to battle one another when Sundqvist was with the St. Louis Blues and before that, the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sundqvist recalled the time the two collided.
