Boston Bruins Prospect JFK Is Making A Name For Himself
By Justin Doyle
Boston Bruins Prospect JFK is on fire right now
Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson thinks of himself as a two-way forward. He said that he can sometimes score, but wants to be able to be responsible in his own end. As well as creating opportunities for his teammates.
The 20-year-old Boston University Terrier has scored a bunch as of late. He has 7 goals in just 4 games since the team resumed from winter break. He had a goal in both games for the battle of Comm. Ave, against rival Boston College where the terriers swept. Karlsson now lead the team in goals (10) and he is tied for the lead in points (22) with Patrick Harper.
"“Sometimes you’ll go for a while and nothing will come, but you’ll have that one game where you get two or three goals instead,” Forsbacka Karlsson said during a visit to TD Garden for the Bruins’ win over the Flyers last Saturday"

The Stockholm native has said that bulking up over the past year has helped him improve his game.
"“Definitely trying to improve on my skating even more, working on my shot, my stick handling. All parts of my game can be improved,” said Forsbacka Karlsson, who says he keeps a close eye on Bruins pivot Patrice Bergeron"
