LW Alexander Holtz - (2020, 7th, NJD)

[Hockeyfrilla]

Almost hattrick on a breakaway, the forsberg-move.

 

[AB13]

2 goals and 1 assist in a remarkable CHL debut. Looked very solid defensively too and won a lot of physical battles.

Playing Vienna away in one hour (1:30pm est). There is a livestream on youtube in some countries where the game don't air on TV, nor sure if it's available in the US or Canada. Maybe it'll interest someone.

I met the entire team including Holtz today before the game. They were warming up outside and thought I'd ask if he wanted to sign a puck and pose for a photo. Will probably add it to a future puck giveaway

Djurgårdens 17-årige forward tar plats i SHL från start

Some of the praise Djurgården's coach Robert Ohlsson gives him in the article:

The plan is looking good. He has really showed that he's good during pre-season. He's after all the player who has scored the most goals in our team, too.

About how determined he sounds about Holtz getting a spot in the SHL premiere:

Yes, absolutely. He has impressed us so much in these games.

But there's still some week left until we're playing Linköping. We have two games remaining this coming weekend. But of what he has shown so far, absolutely.

 

[Star Ocean]

Is he playing today?

Is he playing today?

SHL teams release rosters an hour before the game starts.

Going by the fact that he didn't play in SuperElit, unless he's sick/injured he should be playing. Which line though is TBA.

 

[theslatcher]

Holtz will play on the 2nd line with Haga, and Strandberg as their center.

Hope he can pick up a point today. Would been nice.

 

[Prntscrn]

2nd line and on the first pp unit (both 5v4 and 5v3). Safe to say he's given every opportunity

This is good, as a young player his leash will be very short compared to the vets, he needs to perform right away.

 

[Prntscrn]

Nice assist! Created the counter attack aswell.

 

[theslatcher]

And Holtz has his first SHL point!

 

[NotProkofievian]

And Holtz has his first SHL point!

Beautiful play all around: caused the turnover, gained the zone, and a nice little pass.

 

[Prntscrn]

Unfortunately they don't show how he stole the puck though..

Holtz might score 20+ points this year. Amazing.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Scores again!

This Holtz kid sure can shoot that puck, who would have thought?

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

But could he do it against kids in the QMJHL though?
