The Calgary Flames have inked Swedish defenseman Johannes Kinnvall to a two-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Wednesday.

Kinnvall, 22, will remain in Sweden next season and come to North America ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The right-handed-shooting blue-liner recorded career highs in assists (29) and points (40) while also netting 11 goals through 51 games for HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League this season. Kinnvall has totaled 23 goals and 62 points in 121 games through three campaigns overseas.

The Flames also signed 2018 sixth-round pick Emilio Pettersen to a three-year, entry-level deal Monday.
