Playing career
editIn 2018–19 Edström split the season between Mora IK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) and its junior team in the J20 SuperElit.[2] He registered one assist without scoring a goal in 15 games for Mora IK.[2] Edström joined Rögle BK the following season and established himself in the SHL through three seasons with the club.[3]
On 16 May 2022, Edström was signed by draft club, the New York Rangers, to a three-year, entry-level contract.[4] He was on the Rangers' 2022–23 training camp roster but was returned to Rögle BK.[5][6] After completing the 2022–23 season with Rögle BK he was assigned to the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.[7]
Edström was called up to the Rangers on 28 November 2023, but was returned to Hartford later that day without playing a game.[8][9] He made his NHL debut and scored his first NHL goal on 15 December, in a 5–1 win against the Anaheim Ducks.[10] He was returned to Hartford after the game and was sidelined with an upper body injury shortly afterwards but was recalled to the Rangers on 11 February 2024.[11] Edström referred to his NHL debut upon this recall, saying that "It was a big opportunity, and I think I capitalized on that opportunity the best that I could. Me being back here is a sign that I did something good, so I'm just going to keep going down that road."[11]
After a strong training camp, Edström made the Rangers opening day roster for the 2024-25 NHL season.[12][13]
