Using @SvengelskaHky's amazing database, interesting thing about #Sens 5th rounder Eric Engstrand:
He ranks near the bottom of the team with 9.5 minutes of playing time each game. When you sort Mälmo's players by TOI, you basically sort by age, with a few exceptions.
BUT

BUT
While he ranks 20th in TOI, he's 2nd in SOG/60 - making the most of his ice time. He's also 2nd on the team in GF% (62.5%). It'll be interesting to see if Engstrand can become at least a more regular B6 contributor for Mälmo as he's currently most often the 13F.
For U20 players in the SHL who have played at least 10 games, Engstrand ranks:
Points/60: 15th
SOG/60: 4th
GF%: 8th
GF/60: 5th
GA/60: 13th
Lots of room for improvement but, for a 5th rounder playing minimal minutes, not a bad start.

One place where Engstrand can stand to improve, and that may be holding him back from more ice time, is his ability to be on the positive side of the Corsi battle. In his last few games, when he's on the ice, his shot attempt differential is leaning negative. #Sens
