Sandstrom was shaky in the 1st period, then held the fort until the bad goal.
That's been his problem, stretches of athletic play where he looks like a potential starter, then opps.
However, part of the issue has been injuries which have limited his PT and thus his development.
2017-18: 19 games between SHL and Allsvenskan
2018-19: 19 games SHL, 1 AHL
2019-20: 25 games ECHL, 1 AHL
2020-21: 11 games AHL, 5 games Allsvenskan
2021-22: 44 AHL, 5 NHL
2022-23: 10 NHL, 7 AHL
So 146 games over 6 years.
Compare to Ersson
2017-18: 49 games
2018-19: 53 games
2019-20: 35 SHL games
2020-21: 47 SHL games
2021-22: 5 AHL games (injured)
2022-23: 7 NHL, 19 AHL
One reason to leave Ersson in the AHL is to play a lot of games, preparing him to be 1A next season.
