The Gothenburg, Sweden, native has 77 career AHL points (23-54—77) in 186 regular-season games since 2018-19 to go along with 132 penalty minutes and a plus-42 rating. Prior to turning pro, Lagesson spent two seasons at UMass and collected 15 points (4-11—15) in 63 outings. He earned a gold medal with Team Sweden at the 2013 U17 World Hockey Challen and later paced the 2016 World Junior Championship’s defensemen with two goals.
