Andreas Englund (born 21 January 1996) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). Englund was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the second round (40th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

[edit]

Englund made his professional debut in the 2013–14 season, with his youth club Djurgårdens IF of the then HockeyAllsvenskan.[1] Following the club's promotion Englund made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2014–15 season, appearing in 49 games for five points in his rookie campaign.

After two full seasons in the SHL, marking 95 appearances, Englund left Sweden to sign a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on 5 April 2016.[2] On 3 December 2016, Englund made his NHL debut with the Senators in a 2–0 victory over the Florida Panthers.

As an impending restricted free agent, and facing a delayed 2020–21 North American season, Englund remained in Sweden by agreeing to a season-long contract with Västerviks IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on 20 September 2020.[3] Due to injury, however, Englund sat out the season.

With his rights relinquished by the Senators after not receiving a qualifying offer, Englund agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the Colorado Eagles, the primary affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, on 28 July 2021.[4] In the 2021–22 season, Englund featured regularly on the Eagles blueline. He registered two goals and 12 points through 57 games to help the Eagles reach the playoffs.

As a free agent, Englund re-signed with the Avalanche organization on a one-year, two-way NHL contract on 13 July 2022.[5] He was returned to the Eagles following training camp to begin the 2022–23 season. He featured in 12 games with the Eagles before he was recalled to the NHL by the Avalanche on 13 November 2022 due to a rash of injuries.[6] He made his debut with the Avalanche the following day, his first NHL game in over two years, featuring in a 3–2 defeat by the St. Louis Blues.[7] With the Avalanche blighted by injuries, Englund solidified his defensive role and contributed three assists in 36 games.

On 26 February 2023, Englund was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks for Jack Johnson.[8] Englund played the remainder of the season for the rebuilding Blackhawks, registering one assist in 11 games.

On 1 July 2023, Englund signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Los Angeles Kings .[9]
