Forward Eddie Genborg (44th, 2025) and defenseman Anton Johansson (105th, 2022) collided earlier today in a Swedish Hockey League game. Both players are among the Red Wings Top 10 prospects.
Red Wings Prospects, always chronicling Detroit prospects, had the video up quickly. See below. While it might have been accidental contact, Genborg did receive a two-minute for a check to the head. Was this a reputation penalty? Even as a young player, Genborg has established that he’s a physical player.
The 18-year-old Genborg boasts eight goals and nine assists for 17 points in 33 games for Timra. He had eight points in seven games for the gold medal-winning Swedes at the World Junior Championships.
Meanwhile, we expect to see Johansson back with the Griffins near the end of the season. The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder is also a physical player for Leksands. Johansson played 11 regular-season games for the Griffins and three more in the playoffs. The Red Wings liked what they saw, but he wanted to return for one final season in the SHL. He shows two goals and nine assists for 11 points for his Swedish team.

Results in just 2 min for check by to the head. Looked accidental to me. Looking for the puck, no intent. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/rWMzti2VeH
