J20 Nationell: HV71 vs Linkoping, February 18, 2022: Sweden dropped his last contrast 4-3 to Linkoping, making 32 of 36 saves. Sweden is clearly under sized and has some room to grow, but he is one of the most explosive and quick goaltenders on the list of prospects. He does a great job at holding his edges as long as possible to maximize his coverage and stay on angle to the puck., and his high compete level is everything you would expect from a smaller goalie. He struggled with traffic in front of him as it was hard for him to find sightlines to the puck while still building coverage in the net, but he will be one to keep on your radar when he continues to grow. He clearly has the skillset to be an elite goalie over the years to come. Grade: B
