Anton Frondell C | CHI
Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Hits high mark for 18-year-old
Frondell scored his 20th goal of the season in Djurgardens' 3-2 loss to Skelleftea in the SHL on Saturday.
Per Scott Powers of The Athletic, Frondell is the first 18-year-old to hit the 20-goal mark in Sweden's top league since Daniel Sedin did it in 1998-99. That's elite company for Frondell, who ends the regular season with 20 goals and eight assists in 43 appearances. Given that level of production, Frondell looks ready to take his game to North America in 2026-27.

Anton Lundell C | FLA
Panthers' Anton Lundell: Back in action for Sunday
Lundell (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Sunday against Seattle, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Lundell missed Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Columbus due to an injury. The talented center has seen a big increase in his time on ice, going from averaging 16:43 in the 2024-25 regular season to 19:10 this campaign. Most of that has to do with the season-ending injury Aleksander Barkov (knee) suffered in training camp, but it also helps that at the age of 24, Lundell is maturing with an increased role. He has 17 goals and 43 points in 2025-26 and is just two points away from tying his career high in points.
