Patrik Berglund (born 2 June 1988) is a Swedish professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
In the 2005–06 season, Berglund played for VIK Västerås in the HockeyAllsvenskan, the second highest league in Sweden. He was a top prospect in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft and was drafted 25th overall by the St. Louis Blues.
He scored his first NHL goal on 13 October 2008 against Vesa Toskala of the Toronto Maple Leafs.[1] Paired on a line (called the "Kid Line" by Blues fans, due to the oldest player on the line being 22) with David Perron and his flatmate T. J. Oshie, Berglund became a scoring threat in St. Louis' surprise 2008–09 season, finishing the year with 21 goals and 26 assists for an impressive 47 points in 76 games. In his first three seasons with the Blues he has more points (125), respectively, than fellow swedes Henrik (94) and Daniel Sedin (97) in their first three seasons with Vancouver.
