2019 NHL Draft prospect profile: Albert Johansson plays an aggressive style of defence

If teams are looking for a left-handed defenceman who can move the puck, Albert Johansson is yet another target in this draft.

Birthplace: Karlstad, Sweden
Shoots: Left
Position: Defence
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 168 lbs.
Team: Färjestad BK J20

The Swedish blue-liner split his time between Färjestad’s Junior team and the national team for various tournaments and friendlies in his draft year. He didn’t manage the same offensive impact he had with his club team in international competition, where he often played a secondary role on the team, but he still showcased the skills he can bring to the team that selects him.
