Coach Jeff Blashill described Sundqvist as a “real good hockey player.”

“That’s the term that has been used when I’ve talked to people who have had him, meaning he’s got good hockey sense,” Blashill said. “He’s strong on his stick. Because of that he’s a good two-way player that has ability to play on the penalty kill and the power play. We’ve talked about the need to get better defensively and adding a good 200-foot player will help. I’ll start him at wing tonight but eventually could see him moving to center, because he is a real responsible down-low center.
