Anton Blidh's story
Growing up around Mölnlycke and the Göteborg hockey circuit, Anton Blidh developed through Härryda HC before moving into Frölunda’s youth system. In 2012-2013 he split time between Frölunda’s U18 squad and the junior team, finishing that campaign with 17 goals and 10 assists in 43 games — numbers that put him on NHL radars.
Taken in the sixth round, 180th overall, at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Blidh made his SHL debut with Frölunda during the 2013–14 season. He remained with Frölunda through 2015, appearing in 72 top-level games and collecting 10 points and 28 penalty minutes, before signing a three-year entry-level deal with Boston on 29 May 2015 after attending Bruins development camps.
Blidh began his North American career in Providence, posting 10 goals and 4 assists in 65 games in 2015–16. The next season he started in Providence but was recalled and made his NHL debut on 3 December 2016 in a 2–1 win at Buffalo; he scored his first NHL goal on 20 December 2016 against the New York Islanders. Over subsequent seasons he shifted between the AHL and NHL, setting AHL highs with Providence (11 goals and 15 assists for 26 points in 71 games in 2017–18) and signing several two-way contracts, including extensions in 2019 and a one-year deal on 17 July 2021.
As a free agent in 2022, Blidh signed a one-year, two-way contract with Colorado on 3 August 2022 and made his Avalanche debut on 19 October 2022 in a 4–3 OT loss at Winnipeg. On 3 March 2023 Colorado traded him to the New York Rangers for Gustav Rydahl; assigned to Hartford, he responded with 7 goals and 11 points in 17 regular-season games and added 7 points in 9 playoff contests. He then agreed to a two-year, two-way extension with the Rangers on 8 June 2023.
On the ice Blidh is simple and direct: an energetic winger who uses physicality and forechecking to create space, contribute defensively and chip in offensively when given regular minutes. His career has alternated between depth roles at the NHL level and more prominent assignments in the AHL, where he has often provided secondary scoring and hard-nosed play.
