Swedish striker Pontus Åberg, who spent some time in the Czech Extraliga last season, should play in the KHL next year. His name is associated with the Barys Astana team.
This skilled Swede played 150 games in the best hockey league in the world – he worked in Nashville, Anaheim, Minnesota and Toronto.
Last year, he agreed on an engagement in the Czech Extraliga, and Boleslav got a really stellar reinforcement…

Great things were expected of him.
But… Åberg then asked the club’s management to terminate his contract in December and joined Swiss side Rapperswil.
Out of 26 matches, he scored only three goals for Boleslav and added ten assists, but he was still the club’s second most productive player and was important on the power play.
However, he scored more points in Switzerland – 22 games in the regular season? 22 points! In the team where, for example, Roman Červenka plays, but does not continue.
According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, citing a Russian source, Pontus Åberg is close to joining Barys Astana.
If this is confirmed, this forward will not go to an unknown league – he already tried the KHL in the 2020/2021 season for Chelyabinsk. At that time, he had a record of 10+13 in 49 games of the regular season. But it can be expected that he will have a closed door to the Swedish national team.
