Jonathan Dahlén (born on December 20, 1997 in Östersund) is a Swedish professional ice hockey left winger, currently playing with the Timrå IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan. Dahlén was rated as a top prospect, and was drafted 42nd overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]
Playing Career[]
Dahlén made his seniot debut in the 2014-15 season with the Timrå IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan. In 2015-16 season, Dahlén led his team in scoring with 15 goals and 29 points in 51 games.[2] He improved upon this in his second year, leading his team again with 25 goals and 19 assists in just 45 games.[3] In 2016, he was drafted by the Ottawa Senators of the NHL.
On 27 February 2017, Dahlén was traded by the Senators to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Alex Burrows ahead of the NHL trade deadline.[4] It was speculated the Canucks drafted friend Elias Pettersson based partly on highly successful chemistry with Dahlén on the top line for Timrå IK, where they finished fifth and ninth in league scoring as teenagers.[5][6] The two scored the first shift they ever played together in Sweden.[7]
At the conclusion of his season with Timrå IK, Dahlén was signed by the Canucks to a three-year entry-level contact on 21 April 2017.[8] After suffering from mononucleosis during the 2017–18 preseason, Dahlén signed a contract with Timrå IK on 10 October 2017.[9][10] Playing in Sweden in 2017–18, Dahlén was a leading contributor on offence as Timrå earned a promotion to the SHL.[11] Dahlén was announced as the Top Forward and MVP in HockeyAllsvenskan.[12]
On 12 April 2018, it was announced that Dahlén had been assigned to the Utica Comets of the AHL.[13] Dahlén attended Vancouver's 2018 training camp and played with the Canucks during the 2018–19 pre-season, before he was assigned back to the Utica Comets before the NHL season opener.
On 25 February 2019, Dahlén was traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for prospect Linus Karlsson.[14] He registered 4 assists in 7 games with the Sharks’ AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, to close the season.
In early August 2019, unable to replicate his offensive success from Sweden in North America, Dahlén signed to return to Timrå IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on loan from the San Jose Sharks.[15] In the 2019–20 season, Dahlén matched the league's regular season scoring record with 77 points in 51 regular season games. He registered 5 points in the opening qualification game before Timrå's quest for promotion to the SHL was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 26 May 2020, Dahlén agreed to a one-year extension to continue with Timrå IK, with his right's still owned by the Sharks.[16]
International play[]
He has represented Swedish National Team at the 2015 World U18 Championship and at the 2017 World Junior Championship where he led the tournament with 34 shots in seven games, for a 4.85 SH/GP.[3] He scored a hat trick in this tournament[17]
Personal life[]
He is the son of former longtime NHL player Ulf Dahlén, who played 966 games for 6 different teams.[18]
