Arizona Coyotes' Victor Soderstrom set for NHL debut Friday night against Vegas
Friday night just got more interesting for Arizona Coyotes fans, as 19-year-old defenseman Victor Soderstrom is set to make his NHL debut against the Vegas Golden Knights at Gila River Arena.
Soderstrom was Arizona's first-round draft pick, 11th overall, in 2019, and had been playing in his native Sweden and at the World Junior Championship this offseason prior to arriving in Arizona.
He didn't take part in training camp but was named to the Coyotes' taxi squad to open this season. Now, after participating in Friday morning's pregame skate, Soderstrom will be added to the active roster.
