Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Fallstrom enjoyed a huge campaign with Shattuck-St. Mary’s. The Swede contributed 87 points in just 57 games for the club. This was a full 20 points higher than his 2007-08 totals.
2009-10: In his freshman season at Harvard University, Fallstrom played in 32 games. He scored 4 goals and added 8 assists for 12 points.
2010-11: Fallstrom appeared in 22 games for Harvard as a sophomore - missing ten games due to injury. He scored 7 goals with 5 assists, including 2 assists in the Crimson's 5-4 win over Boston University in the Beanpot Tournament consolation game. Harvard (12-21-1) advanced to the quarterfinals of the ECAC tournament, falling to Dartmouth in a three-game series. Fallstrom finished with an even plus/minus for the season and accumulated 17 PMs.
Talent Analysis
Fallstrom is a highly intelligent player with good all-around ability and size. He plays an industrious game and at times can show good hands and power potential but those moments have been few and far between at the college level thus far. Extremely competent defensively, he reads and anticipates the play well. Still has a lot of work to do in the weight room to fill out his frame.
Future
As of now, Fallstrom projects as a PJ Axelsson-type of defensive specialist in the NHL. But he has a long way to go before he’s NHL ready. Expect him to play out his final two seasons at Harvard and follow that with a few season in the AHL.
