The top junior international tournament is set to take place in Edmonton, Alberta and the Swedish right-handed blueliner will play a key role for his country after impressing in last year’s iteration.
Taken with the 11th overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft, Söderström has grown rapidly and is expected to stake a claim on a roster spot with the Coyotes in training camp this season, especially if NHL teams will carry larger numbers during the expected shortened campaign.
