History
2005-06: The top Swedish goaltender in the 2006 draft, Enroth came off a strong season with Södertälje’s junior team and was among the top goalies in April at the U18 WJC in April. He is by many considered the top goalie prospect from Sweden since Henrik Lundqvist.
2007-08: He put himself on the map at the 2008 World Junior Hockey Championships, posting a .905 save percentage and 2.33 GAA with his only loss coming at the hands of Canada in the finals. He earned a nomination for rookie of the year in the Swedish Elitserien League following a strong performance with Södertälje SK, but 22-year-old Daniel Larsson (DET) bested him for the award. Enroth finished with 33 wins, 16 losses, including three shutouts and a .933 save percentage.
Talent Analysis
Somewhat undersized butterfly goalie, but very quick and agile. He is very consistent and rarely has an off game. Reflexes are top notch and he has a very quick and impressive glove. Moves well from side to side and has a winner’s instinct.
Future
The next step for Enroth will be to prove himself on North American ice. A 2006 pick, he must be signed by June 1.
