NYR Prospects watch: Lundkvist, Pajuniemi, Henriksson, and Andersson

Anthony Scultore Updated: Aug 22, 2020

It’s that time of year where we start to keep an eye on NYR prospects.

NYR Prospects, Nils Lundkvist

Nils Lundkvist signed to play one more season in the SHL. The move made a ton of sense because of the uncertainty of start dates for the AHL and SHL season.

Lundkvist registered 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) and a plus-18 rating in 45 SHL games with Lulea last season, and his 31 points and 20 assists were each the most by an SHL defenseman in his U20 season or younger in league history. #NYR

NYR Prospects, Lauri Pajuniemi

The other Finnish prospect goal scorer, told us back in June that the Rangers wanted him to remain one more year in Finland playing for TPS.

#NYR prospect Lauri Pajuniemi will play with TPS (Liiga) today in their pre-season 3v3 Super Series tournament.

NYR Prospects, Karl Henriksson

Center, Karl Henriksson has risen up the Rangers prospect depth since being drafted in the 2nd round in the 2019 draft.

#NYR prospect Karl Henriksson has been credited with the go-ahead goal in the third period to give Frolunda (SHL) a 4-3 lead in their pre-season game today. Henriksson has played on Frolunda's top line in each of their first three pre-season games (including today).
