Theodor Lennström is ramping up training ahead of the new season following a difficult year marred by an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old defenseman played just 18 games for Linköping last season after signing from Färjestad.
Lennström, who won the SM gold with Färjestad in 2022, described the recovery process as a real test. “Det var verkligen ett test. Vissa stunder var det väldigt jobbigt faktiskt. Man vill ju hela tiden göra sitt bästa och vara med och hjälpa laget. Det suger att stå vid sidan av,” he told Corren. Linköping also lost captain Oscar Fantenberg to a serious injury for much of the campaign, contributing to the team’s failure to reach the SM playoffs. Lennström has reported no setbacks so far as he prepares for a fresh campaign with the club.
