Press Release via Nashville Predators:

Nashville, Tenn. (April 29, 2016) – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Friday that the club has recalled forward Pontus Aberg (PAWN-tuhs AW-buhrg) from Milwaukee (AHL).

Aberg, 22 (9/23/93), scored 25 goals and amassed 40 points in 74 games for the Admirals in 2015-16, tying for 13th among all AHLers in goals, while tying for the AHL lead in game-winning goals (8) and first goals (8). The 5-foot-11, 196-pound winger also ranked fourth on the Admirals in points; he amassed 34 points (16g-18a), ranking fifth on the team in the category, as a rookie in 2014-15. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Aberg was Nashville’s first choice, 37th overall (second round), in the 2012 Entry Draft. He helped Farjestad advance to the 2014 Swedish Hockey League Final, earning a silver medal, and was a finalist for the 2012 Swedish Elite League Rookie of the Year with Djurgarden.

More specifically, Åberg finished the regular season on a white hot run of 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in the Admirals last 21 games of the season. In that span Åberg was held without a point in just 5 games. He finished the season as the Admirals top goal scorer. More names from the Admirals are expected to join the Predators in the near future.
