The Daily: Karlsson Torn About Future; Niederbach Back in SHL

Theodor Niederbach, Detroit Red Wings prospect

Detroit Red Wings forward prospect Theodor Niederbach will be back in the Swedish Hockey League next season, thanks to MoDo’s 4-0 win against Djurgarden of Game 7 of the Hockey Allsvenskan championship series.



That win moves Modo back into Sweden’s top league. Niederbach (drafted 51st by the Detroit Red Wings in 2020) is signed with MoDo for a couple of seasons. Niederbach has not developed like the Red Wings hoped he would, but he had a good playoff with 12 points in 17 games.

He had 18 points in 31 games for MoDo in the regular-season. Niederbach is 21, and he would have to show significant improvement next season in the SHL to get pointed to the NHL.
