Rotowire
Frondell scored a goal in Djurgardens' 3-2 win over Timra IK on Saturday in the SHL.
Frondell has played well this season with 10 goals and five assists over 25 appearances in the SHL. It's his first year in the league, though the 18-year-old will be taking a break from his club team to represent Sweden at the World Junior Championship later this month. Considering he's been playing against men in the SHL all year, he should have a dominant performance at the WJC.

Frondell logged two assists in Djurgardens' 4-2 win over Brynas IF on Saturday.
Frondell is up to 12 points (eight goals, four assists) through his first 17 games in the SHL. The 18-year-old is proving why the Blackhawks made him the No. 3 overall pick in 2025, showcasing a goal-scoring touch in a men's league. Frondell figures to be a candidate for Sweden's World Junior Championship squad, but he has plenty to feel good about already in a strong start to 2025-26.

Frondell scored three goals on six shots in Djurgardens' 5-3 win over Malmo on Saturday.
Frondell helped Djurgardens earn promotion from the second-tier HockeyAllsvenskan last year, collecting 25 points in 29 regular-season games and another seven points in 16 qualification contests. Even with a step up in quality with the team rejoining the SHL, Frondell has elevated his offense early in the year with six goals and two assists over nine contests. He was selected third overall by the Blackhawks back in June, and he's off to a positive start. He's on loan with the Swedish club this year and may get a taste of North American hockey in the spring.
