Playing career

edit

Carlsson made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Brynäs IF during the 2014–15 SHL season.[1]

After completing his fourth SHL season in 2017–18 and having continued his development with Brynäs, Carlsson was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on 21 May 2018.[2]

During the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, after registering 1 assist in 12 appearances with the Blackhawks, Carlsson was traded alongside Lucas Wallmark to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Brett Connolly, Riley Stillman, Henrik Borgström and a 2021 7th round draft pick on 8 April 2021.[3]

Following three seasons within the Panthers organization, Carlsson left as a free agent and was signed to a two-year, two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks on 1 July 2024.[4]
