CAREER INFO:
Drafted in the sixth round, 136th overall, by the New York Islanders in 1991. Acquired from the Islanders with Darius Kasparaitis for Bryan Smolinski November 17, 1996...has spent time with Worcester of the AHL and Utah and Cleveland of the IHL...never a high scoring player anytime in his career.

PLAYING STYLE:
The free-wheeling Swede is definitely not a defensive specialist, nor does he score often...he struggles to find a rold as he searches for a normal shift with the Pens...has some size but is not physical at all...may now be able to find a spot in the line-up with the loss of Ron Francis.
