Newest Railer: Henrik Samuelsson

On Thursday (9/12) the Railers announced their 10th player signing for the upcoming season signing veteran forward Henrik Samuelsson. The 25-year-old enters his sixth professional season and is a former first round draft pick in the NHL (27th) overall by the Arizona Coyotes in 2012. The 6-3, 230lb right handed shot will be the first Railer to have played in the NHL as he played three games with the Coyotes during the 2014-15 season.

The answer is yes. Yes, Henrik is the son of two-time Stanley Cup Champion, Ulf Samuelsson, who played 16 years in the NHL playing 1,080 games accumulating 332 points (57-275-332) along with 2,453 PIMS.

Samuelsson who spent parts of five seasons from 2014-19 in the AHL, played four times at the DCU Center against the Sharks with the Portland Pirates where he scored two goals and one assist (2-1-3).
