European Prospect Report: Mattias Norlinder continues to take huge strides

Mattias Norlinder was one of the standout players for Frölunda this week, not only for scoring two goals but for his overall play. He looked to be more of the Norlinder that started the season and who was selected to the National team.

Norlinder scored his fourth goal of the season in the game against Luleå with Frölunda winning after turning the game around. With Frölunda on the power play, the defenders got deeper and deeper into the Luleå end, and when a Norlinder got an opportunity he blasted the puck into the net.

In the second game of the week, Frölunda faced Djurgården and it was clearly Norlinder’s best performance since his first injury this season.
