As expected, Karl Henriksson will be joining Team Sweden at the 2021 World Juniors. Henriksson is having a bit of an adjustment year in the SHL, his first full season in the pro league. In 19 games, he has four assists and has been a healthy scratch a few times.

Henriksson’s adjustment to the SHL isn’t a surprise. The kid is 19 years old and is more or less making the jump from J20 to the SHL. That’s a major jump. The key thing to note is that his coach recognizes the potential and Frolunda is easing him into the lineup as a teenager.

Henriksson is expected to be the center on Sweden’s top line at the World Juniors.
