The last time Victor Eklund and Calle Odelius were on the ice wearing the same uniform was two years ago with the under-20 team for Djugardens, the Stockholm-based club that Eklund helped get promoted to Sweden’s top division last season. 

At the time, Odelius was in his first season after being drafted by the Islanders in the 2022 second round. Eklund was a 16-year-old, hoping to rise through the ranks. 

Now, Odelius is heading into his second full season stateside after coming over and playing with Bridgeport last year. Eklund is on Long Island for the week at development camp after getting picked 16th in last week’s draft, and he is getting advice from his close friend on everything from how to navigate the Islanders’ organization to the local golf offerings. 

“Super fun. I’m super proud of him,” Odelius told The Post. “He’s a good friend of mine, and we played together in Djugardens and built some chemistry there. So hopefully, we can keep building that chemistry here on the Islanders.”
