SHL’s IK Oskarshamn Signs Austin Wagner

October 29, 2023 at 5:29 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

IK Oskarshamn of the Swedish Hockey League announced they’ve signed forward Austin Wagner for the remainder of the 2023-24 season. Wagner had attended NHL training camp on a PTO with the Penguins, and while he was never officially released from his tryout, he did not sign a standard contract with Pittsburgh.

Wagner, 26, split last season between the Kings and Blackhawks organizations but only appeared in NHL games with Chicago. The Calgary-born natural winger posted a goal and an assist in seven games with the Blackhawks last season, averaging 12:08 per game and posting a -2 rating. Wagner, who also recorded 12 points in 24 games with AHL Ontario last year, could not secure a roster spot in Pittsburgh over veteran additions like Noel Acciari and Matthew Nieto nor in-house options like Drew O’Connor.

Wagner has split his time in the pro leagues almost evenly in the NHL and AHL since turning pro in 2017. A 2015 fourth-round draft choice of the Kings, Wagner has 178 games of NHL experience dating back to 2018, recording 23 goals and 19 assists for 42 points. After giving the Kings some solid depth production while on his entry-level deal, his effectiveness diminished after signing a three-year, $3.4MM extension with the team in 2020, a deal that he played most of in the minors. While slated for restricted free agency last summer, the Blackhawks did not issue him a qualifying offer after acquiring him via trade from the Kings on deadline day in March.

Oskarshamn is off to a tough start this season, sitting second-to-last in the league with a 3-9-2-0 record and 13 points. The club, which earned promotion from the HockeyAllsvenskan in 2019, will need to kick things into high gear to avoid relegation back to the second-tier league next Spring. Wagner joins an offense currently led by former Senators prospect Viktor Lodin, who has five goals and nine assists for 14 points in 14 contests.
