He also played in two playoff games, with a 5.04 GAA and .836 save percentage. Ranked seventh amongst European goaltenders in Central Scouting's final rankings prior to the 2011 NHL Draft, he was selected by Chicago in the seventh round (211th overall) and drafted by Sudbury (OHL) with the 29th overall pick in the 2012 CHL Import Draft.

He appeared in 37 games with the Wolves and was 23-14 with three losses coming in overtime. He finished with a 3.16 goals against and .910 save percentage. Sudbury finished fourth in the Central Division and was swept by Brampton in the first round of the playoffs.

He did not see any game action at the WJC as the third goalie behind fellow NHL prospects Johan Gustafsson (Minnesota) and Anton Forsberg (Columbus).

 

Talent Analysis

A big goalie who fills the net well and relies on positioning more than athleticism to get the job done. Needs to improve quickness and rebound control.

 

Future

Mattsson joined the Tri-City Storm in the USHL for the 2012-13 season.
