With Victor Söderström, Rasmus Sandin, and Tobias Björnfot looking for roster spots on Team Sweden for the World Junior Championship, the Kramfors Cannon did what he could to improve his own chances.
Mattias Norlinder’s strong play continues, and with the increased confidence every game comes more composure in his own end. He plays a tight game, and recovers quickly when needed. Added to a good defensive game are his quick-thinking and offensive skills that mean he sometimes is more of a forward on the ice, especially when he joins the rush or comes in as the third player on the attack.
