The Edmonton Oilers may have an internal solution to help improve their play between the pipes.

Samuel Jonsson, whom the Oilers selected in the fifth round in 2022, began catching eyeballs during the 2024-25 season.

While playing for Bofors IK in the HockeyAllsvenskan, Sweden’s second-highest professional league, he put up a 1.88 GAA and a .922 SV% in 24 appearances.

The strong season didn’t go unnoticed by Oilers management, who rewarded him with a three-year, entry-level contract in April.

Given that the Oilers also signed two older goalies in Matt Tomkins and Connor Ingram, Jonsson has started the 2025-26 season in the ECHL with the Fort Wayne Komets. Based on his play in the early going, however, it may not be long before he gets his first opportunity with the Bakersfield Condors.
