Samuel Jonsson’s Rise as Oilers Prospect | Edmonton Oilers News

Samuel Jonsson, the 6’5” Swedish goalie drafted by the Oilers in the fifth round of 2022, is quietly turning heads with his elite reflexes, quick hands, and game-reading ability. After a shaky rookie year, he exploded in his final season in Sweden, earning Goaltender of the Year honors. Now in North America with the ECHL’s Fort Wayne Komets, he posted a stellar 2.38 GAA and .910 save percentage while splitting time. While his pad work and rebound control need polish, his adaptability and poise suggest he’s primed for the AHL next season—and could emerge as a solid NHL backup by 2029. Goalies are unpredictable, but Jonsson’s trajectory makes him one to watch. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
