Playing career

Nordström made his SHL debut on 23 September 2010, against Södertälje SK.[2] He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks on 29 May 2012, but remained with AIK for the 2012–13 season.[3] Nordström made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks on 1 October 2013. He scored his first NHL goal on 11 October 2013 against Kevin Poulin of the New York Islanders. Nordström was sent down to the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL on 21 October 2013,[4] where he played before being recalled back to the Blackhawks on 2 April 2014.[5]

In the 2014–15 season with the IceHogs, Nordström was the captain of the IceHogs though he played 38 games with the Blackhawks, including three in the playoffs, and was part of the team that won the Stanley Cup in 2015.[6][7]

On 13 March 2015, Nordström was suspended for two games for boarding against Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a game the previous night.[8][9]

Approaching the 2015–16 season, on September 11, 2015, he was traded by the Blackhawks to the Carolina Hurricanes with Kris Versteeg as a salary-cutting measure.[10]

After three seasons within the Hurricanes organization, Nordström left as a free agent to sign a two-year, $2 million contract with the Boston Bruins on July 1, 2018.[11] Nordström's first Bruins goal came on October 12, 2018, as the third Bruins goal en route to a 4–1 home ice victory against the Edmonton Oilers.[12]
