The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-assigned forward Oskar Sundqvist from Skelleftea of the Swedish League to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.
Sundqvist, 21, recently completed his second full season playing for Skelleftea in Sweden’s top professional league. He helped his club advance to its third-consecutive league championship series, where the Vaxjo Lakers ended Skelleftea’s bid for a three-peat.
During the regular season, the 6-foot-3, 209-pound Sundqvist tallied nine goals, 19 points, a plus-15 and 34 penalty minutes in 41 games for Skelleftea.
