Playing career

Friberg played as a junior and in the lower division's in his native Sweden with Skövde IK. In order to continue his development, Friberg moved to Timrå IK of the then Elitserien. His first Elitserien goal came on November 19, 2011, against Fredrik Norrena of Linköpings HC.[1]

On June 15, 2012, Friberg agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Anaheim Ducks.[2]

Having agreed to a two-year extension prior to the 2015–16 season, on January 7, 2016, Friberg was surprisingly traded by the Ducks to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Dustin Tokarski.[3] Friberg was assigned directly to conclude the remainder of the season with AHL affiliate, the St. John's IceCaps.

In the 2016–17 season, Friberg was assigned to continue with the IceCaps for the entirety of the campaign. As the IceCaps captain in their announced last season in the AHL, Friberg contributed with 11 goals and 31 points in 71 games.

As an impending restricted free agent from the Canadiens, having never made his debut with the club, Friberg opted to return home to Sweden in agreeing to a three-year contract with Frölunda HC of the SHL on May 4, 2017.[4]
