Short article of Niklas Nordgren.
Predicted to go rounds 2-3 next years NHL draft.
But making HIFK's liiga roster could rise Nordgren's draft stock.

Hat trick for Nordgren in his 1st game in HIFK's liiga team.

 

[FinPanda]

Will be interesting to see him play in Liiga. I don't know how good that Polish team was.

 

[Hokinaittii]

Here is his 3 goals tonight.



I haven't seen him play much but can anyone tell me why he hasn't gotten any Liiga games yet?

I think he was injured at the start of the season, so they might have wanted to give him some time in u20 first?

Nordgren wasn't injured.
The reason why Nordgren got his HIFK debut yesterday's CHL game vs Cracovia was next.
Nordgren went hip surgery this past summer and recovery on it affected his summer practice.

That's why Nordgren wasn't Finland's Ivan Hlinka tournament roster and he didn't play earlier in HIFK's liiga team.
Without massive surprises Nordgren's should be HIFK's liiga roster in Thurday's SM liiga game vs Vaasan Sport.

[FinPanda]

Nordgren is HIFK's roster tonight's Sport vs HIFK game.

Yeah I saw that, no need to repeat.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Solid and OK liiga debut for Nordgren.
Had quiet night offensively and didn't score any points but also didn't disappoint either.
Logged ice-time 12:23

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Scored HIFK's only goal tonight's A juniors SM liiga game vs Oulun Karpat.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Scored HIFK's 4th goal.
And assisted two HIFK's goals tonight's Champions Hockey League game vs Comarch Cracovia.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Very solid player. Strong on his skates, quick bursts to gain some separation and gets involved physically. Low center of gravity and keeps puck close so it's hard to strip him.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Scored 2 two goals yesterday's A juniors SM liiga game vs Lahden Pelicans.
Tonight's Ässät vs HIFK game Nordgren is HIFK's 13th forward.

Interview of Niklas Nordgren.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Played on HIFK's 1st line today and looked pretty good. Intriguing prospect, he could be this year's Finnish sleeper pick in the 2nd round.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Recorded his first career point assisting in 1st period HIFK's 2nd goal vs HPK tonight's SM liiga game.
Nordgren played HIFK's 4th line with Micke Åsten and Jerry Ahtola and got icetime 10:22

 

[Hokinaittii]

Considering how he has played everytime I have seen him play, it's kind of surprising he only has one point so far.

Niklas Nordgren's 1st career liiga point ( assist) vs HPK

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Scored 1 goal and assisted 6 HIFK's goals today's A juniors SM liiga game vs Vaasan Sport.

 

[jvr32]

I feel like this guy might be flying under the radar for the draft. Yes he is small but he is FEISTY when I've seen him. Should be a second rounder at least.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Recorded his second liiga point tonight's game vs Kärpät assisting HIFK's 2nd goal in 2nd period.
