Blades Trade for Atwal
Ahead of Sunday’s puck-drop, Saskatoon made a move to fill a gap in their depleted offense, acquiring Arjun Atwal from Victoria.
Atwall is a 17-year-old forward who has spent the season with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
He made his debut on Sunday, also his WHL regular season debut, going scoreless but +2 on the night.
