Per Felix Sandström (born 12 January 1997) is a Swedish professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently under contract with the Philadelphia Flyers organization of the National Hockey League (NHL). Sandström was selected by the Flyers in the third round (70th overall) of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Sandström made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Brynäs IF during the 2014–15 SHL season.[1] Following the 2016–17 season, Sandström opted to continue his development in Brynäs, accepting a one-year contract extension on May 10, 2017.[2]
In the 2017–18 season, Sandström was unable to cement a full-time role within Brynäs and after appearing in only 8 games with the club was transferred to fellow SHL outfit HV71 on February 12, 2018.[3]
He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on March 27, 2018.[4] He then joined AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms on a professional try-out basis for their post-season on March 31, 2018.[5]
His twin brother, Simon, also played with Brynäs IF at the J20 SuperElit level before leaving to play in the Hockeyettan with IF Sundsvall Hockey.
