Would someone be kind enough to tell me what injury Pontus Aberg suffered during the WJC exhibition match versus Canada, and when he is perhaps expected to recover?
I was looking forward to seeing him in the tournament..heck I was looking forward to seeing him in that game, which was televised on TSN. He is highly regarded for the draft even if he's had limited viewing by many NA scouts.
Also, could someone give a description of how he plays?
He had a hard time taking his team spot back after his all his injuries and has not been as good since. He did play better the last few games of the SEL relegation round though. Right now he´s playing on the swedish U19 team in St. Petersburg where he scored two goals against the Latvian mens national team and added 2 assists in todays 2-1 victory over the czechs.
He plays the game similar to Marcus Johansson of the Washington Capitals but he is perhaps more of a goalscorer than a playmaker and plays a bit more physical and with more grit than Johansson.

Thanks. I'm hoping the Devils pick him. We are already building a nice Swedish nation on our team.
Similar production to Forsberg this season. Can someone provide a scouting report and NHL comp?
Yup but he was on fire at the start of the season, had something like 8 points in 8 games iirc. He really slowed down over the season, but then again injures played a big part in that.
