The Rangers are closely watching and enjoying everything Nils Lundkvist has done in his SHL career. In what will be his final regular season with Lulea prior to signing his ELC with the Blueshirts after their playoffs conclude he finishes with 14 goals and 32 points in 52 games. His career SHL numbers are an impressive 78 in 166 games, with 63 of those points coming in his final two seasons spanning 97 games.
Very impressive indeed for a 20 year-old playing amongst men. Lundkvist is expected to sign soon but is looking to win an SHL Championship. Read more here.
