In the shadow of Rasmus Dahlin and Adam Boqvist, quiet and stalwart defender Nils Lundkvist has made a solid impression in his first year among the pros.
In his first game in the SHL, Lundkvist was trusted with over 13 minutes of play. The prospect built on that, earning the trust of his coaches and ending up being utilized for an average of 16:28 for the 28 games he played in his first year in Sweden’s top league.
