BUFFALO \u2014 Ivar Stenberg has been living on his own in Gothenburg for three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have [discipline] over myself,\u201d the 18-year-old told San Jose Hockey Now on Thursday.<\/p>\n
That maturity has been on full display all season, as Stenberg had one of the best SHL and World Championships campaigns ever for a first-time Draft-eligible.<\/p>\n
For Frolunda,\u00a0Stenberg posted 33 points, on 11 goals and 22 assists, the third-best D+0 campaign in SHL history, behind only Daniel Sedin (42 points) and Henrik Sedin (34 points).<\/p>\n
For Sweden, Stenberg registered eight points in just eight games, on four goals and four assists. Since World War II, only Patrik Laine, Auston Matthews, and Paul Kariya have averaged a point per game as a D+0 at Worlds.<\/p>\n
The San Jose Sharks organization, of course, is forward-heavy, but it will be difficult to pass up on Stenberg with the No. 2 pick. The Sharks will take Stenberg to dinner on Friday.<\/p>\n
Stenberg spoke on playing against Macklin Celebrini at the World Championships, how his older brother and 2023 first-round pick Otto Stenberg influenced him, and how he decorates his apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BUFFALO \u2014 Ivar Stenberg has been living on his own in Gothenburg for three years. \u201cI have [discipline]…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":846506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[42],"tags":[9097,1322,1430,108177,316676,213807,5506,21393,293,336592,1328,44270,62,346110,129,67,132,68,72630,68190],"class_list":["post-846505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-apartment","tag-featured","tag-golf","tag-gothenburg","tag-ivar-stenberg","tag-leo-sahlin-wallenius","tag-lionel-messi","tag-macklin-celebrini","tag-nhl","tag-otto-stenberg","tag-san-jose-sharks","tag-sjhn","tag-sports","tag-stenungsund","tag-sweden","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-world-championships","tag-zlatan-ibrahimovic"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116698428764289649","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=846505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/846505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/846506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=846505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=846505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=846505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
