Juulsen made his professional debut during the 2017–18 NHL Season. On February 21, 2018, Juulsen was recalled by the Canadiens[5] and played his first NHL game on February 22, 2018, in a 3–1 win against the New York Rangers.[6] On March 2, Juulsen scored his first career NHL goal during a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders.[7] He recorded an additional two assists in 23 total games for the club.

On February 1, 2019, the Canadiens announced Juulsen was out indefinitely with a vision-related issue following twin puck strikes to the face during the November 19, 2018 match against the Washington Capitals. He skated in a total of 21 games for the Canadiens during the 2018–19 season, scoring one goal and four assists.[8]

On January 11, 2021, the Florida Panthers claimed Juulsen off of waivers from the Canadiens.[9]

Prior to the commencement of the 2021–22 season, on October 10, 2021, Juulsen was traded by the Panthers to the Vancouver Canucks, along with Juho Lammikko, in exchange for Olli Juolevi.[10]
