Lagom is a word unique to the Swedish language that doesn’t translate into one single word in English but means “not too little, not too much, but just right.” It’s a pretty appropriate description for Jakob Silfverberg’s game, notably the one he displayed near the end of last season and especially throughout the Ducks playoffs.
The 24-year-old Swedish winger was a force at both ends of the rink while playing on Anaheim’s second forward line and developing an unmistakable chemistry with veteran center Ryan Kesler. In 16 postseason games, Silfverberg scored four goals and his 14 assists were third among all NHLers in the playoffs — including five assists in Anaheim’s final four postseason games.
