Mathias Brome signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
"I'm going to do everything I can to make the team there," Brome told The Athletic. "I'm just really happy and really looking forward to get the chance to make the team. Of course it's going to be hard, but I'm going to do all that I can to make it."
The 25-year-old forward scored 43 points (17 goals, 26 assists) with a plus-10 rating in 52 games for Orebro HK in the Swedish Hockey League this season.
Brome was sixth in points, seventh in assists and tied for seventh in goals in Sweden's top professional league.
"[He's] not a physical [player] in the way that he hits a lot, but he is intense," Orebro HK coach Niklas Eriksson told the website. "He's quick, he has a good ability to turn away and protect the puck, and finding solutions when he's got the puck in the corners with quick turns. He's quite tough to catch there. He loves to score. He [doesn't have] the best shot, but he loves to score. You can see that he wants to score, so he has that grit to score."
Brome, who played with Mora IK for two seasons from 2017-19, scored 99 points (41 goals, 58 assists) in 156 SHL games. He played four seasons in Allsvenskan, the second-highest professional league in Sweden, from 2013-17, and scored 94 points (35 goals, 59 assists) in 190 games with VIK Vasteras HK, Asploven HC and Mora IK.
