The SHL playoffs are underway, and Red Wings prospect Axel Holmstrom has come out of the gate with his offense surging against Frolunda. As many of you know, another Red Wings prospect, Christoffer Ehn, plays with Frolunda, so both youngsters have had the daunting task of going head-to-head — something not many future teammates get to do over in Europe.
Holmstrom has put up five points (3-2-5) in three games so far — impressive for the 20-year-old, who is now considered an SHL veteran. As it stands now, Holmstrom has put up 29 points (12-17-29) in his 28 playoff games in the SHL.
