Rising Oslo Storm adds Galbraith

A disastrous opening to the season for the Oslo Storm had many VHLM pundits writing them off. A lack of scoring and dependence on young players had them floundering out of the gate and putting themselves out of playoff contention before the season had even really begun. However, things have changed as of late as the Storm have seemingly out of the blue began to play good hockey again.

Solid goaltending from Kimmo Salo has headlined the Storm’s resurgence, while veterans on the back end have helped settle down the team’s younger players. Veteran defenceman Jeff Phinney has proven invaluable lately as he leads the team in scoring and plays heavy minutes in all situations, without Phinney playing half the game, Oslo is likely in the European Conference’s basement.

Sal has been lights out for the Storm recently

 

In an effort to address the teams lack of scoring, Oslo placed a claim on rookie RW Ashton Galbraith. While Galbraith looked very shaky during his debut (going pointless and -1) scouts insist as the season goes on he can provide some offence from the 3rd line. “It takes time to adjust to a new league” an Oslo executive was quoted as saying “the VHLM is quicker than a lot of people give it credit for, it’s rare for a guy to jump in and make a huge impact immediately.”
