Anaheim Ducks Select Isac Lundestrom With 23rd Pick In 2018 NHL Draft

The Anaheim Ducks selected Isac Lundestrom with their first pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft with the 23rd overall selection.

Lundestrom, listed at 6’ 0” and 183 pounds, skated for Lulea HF in the 2017-18 season, where he posted six goals and 15 points in 42 games at 18 years of age in the Swedish Hockey League.

Playing against men at a young age in one of the world’s top leagues, Lundestrom acquitted himself nicely by playing a solid, two-way brand of hockey.

His offensive upside is the only question mark surrounding his potential, but there is no doubt that he plays a mature game on both sides of the ice.
