HARTFORD, CT – New York Rangers President and General Manager Chris Drury announced today that the club has recalled forward Adam Edström from the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack.
Edström, 23, has scored ten points (8 g, 2 a) in 24 games in his first full season with the Wolf Pack. Last season, Edström collected 19 points (9 g, 10 a) in 42 games with Rögle BK of the SHL. He scored his first career AHL goal in three regular-season games with the Wolf Pack before tacking on an assist in five games during the 2023 Calder Cup Playoffs.
Before coming to North America, Edström appeared in 189 career SHL games in his native Sweden. He scored 48 points (23 g, 25 a) with Rögle BK and Mora IK.
Edström made his NHL debut with the Rangers on December 15th at Madison Square Garden against the Anaheim Ducks. He scored his first career NHL goal in the game, becoming the first Wolf Pack player this season to both make his NHL debut and score his first career NHL goal.
The native of Karlstad, SWE, was selected in the sixth round, 161st overall, by the Rangers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
The Pack is back at the XL Center on Saturday night when the Islanders return for the final game of 2023. The first 1,500 fans into the game will receive a 2024 Wolf Pack calendar. The puck drop is set for 6:00 p.m., and tickets are available at hartfordwolfpack.com.
