Playing career[]
Professional[]
On May 29, 2012, the Boston Bruins announced that they had signed Svedberg from the Swedish Elite League to an Entry Level Contract. Svedberg made his AHL debut on October 19, 2012 against the Manchester Monarchs. Svedberg was called up to the Boston Bruins on May 24, 2013. Svedberg was also voted as the AHL 2012–13 goalie of the year. [1]
Svedberg made his NHL debut on January 2, 2014 in a home game against the Nashville Predators, playing all 60:50 of game time into a short overtime, resulting in a 3-2 Bruins win.[2]
After the Bruins were eliminated by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs, on June 23, 2014 Svedberg was signed to a one-year, "one-way" contract by the Bruins, in anticipation of 2013-14 Bruins backup goaltender Chad Johnson becoming an unrestricted free agent.[3]
