Adam Edström (born 12 October 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward for the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the Rangers in the sixth round of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft with the 161st pick of the draft.[1]

Playing career

In 2018–19 Edström split the season between Mora IK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) and its junior team in the J20 SuperElit.[2] He registered one assist without scoring a goal in 15 games for Mora IK.[2] Edström joined Rögle BK the following season and established himself in the SHL through three seasons with the club.[3]

On 16 May 2022, Edström was signed by draft club, the New York Rangers, to a three-year, entry-level contract.[4] He was on the Rangers' 2022–23 training camp roster but was returned to Rögle BK.[5][6] After completing the 2022–23 season with Rögle BK he was assigned to the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.[7]

Edström was called up to the Rangers on 28 November 2023, but was returned to Hartford later that day without playing a game.[8][9] He made his NHL debut and scored his first NHL goal on 15 December, in a 5–1 win against the Anaheim Ducks.[10]
