The SHL playoffs have started well for Montreal Canadiens prospect Adam Engström. While he has been lined up as the seventh defender, he has played more than 12 minutes in all games but the first where he only got a shift.
Rögle became the first team in SHL history to turn around and win a play-in series after being down 1-0 in games.
In today’s game against second-seeded team Skellefteå AIK, Engström stepped up in a big way. Not only defensively, where he was a solid calm presence on the third pairing, but also with a highlight reel goal.
