Overview

  • Boston, which announced the move Sunday, signed the 23-year-old to a 2026–27 entry-level contract with a $952,500 NHL cap hit.
  • Lundgren finished his sophomore season at Merrimack with a .920 save percentage and a 21-16-5 record after a 49-save win in the Hockey East final.
  • The addition builds depth behind NHL starter Jeremy Swayman and backup Joonas Korpisalo, who are both under contract for next season.
  • In the AHL/ECHL tier, Michael DiPietro remains signed while Simon Zajicek and Luke Cavallin are set to become restricted free agents this summer.
  • The 6-foot-5 Swede went undrafted after a .913 save percentage season in the USHL, rose to No. 17 on Elite Prospects’ NCAA free-agent list, and is expected to attend Boston’s development camp.
