Ottawa Senators‘ 2008 4th round pick (#109 overall), right wing Andre Petersson(20) received his 1st NHL called up in his rookie season.
With their AHL affiliate Binghamton Senators he has 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) in 30 games and is a +2 plus/minus.
He’s not so big at 5’9″ 172 lbs. but the 21-year old Swedish-born player had been playing professionally in his home country for two full campaigns before signing a 3-year entry level deal at the end of last season to come over and play in North America.
Used sparingly in his first big league game, he skated 5:02 of ice time over 7 shifts but failed to post any other stats.
