Christian Djoos (born 6 August 1994) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Djoos was selected by the Washington Capitals in the 7th round (195th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Djoos won the Stanley Cup as a member of the Capitals in 2018. He is the son of former Swedish defencemen Pär Djoos.
Playing career
Djoos made his Elitserien (now the Swedish Hockey League/ SHL) debut, playing one game with Brynäs IF during the 2011–12 season, and by the 2013–14 season, at the age of 19, he had developed into a regular SHL player for Brynäs.[1]
He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Capitals on 16 May 2014.[2]
Djoos made the Capitals opening night roster to start the 2017–18 season. In his NHL debut, on 11 October 2017, he scored his first NHL goal, and first NHL assist, with the Capitals against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Subsequently, Djoos became the first defenseman in Capitals history to score two points during his NHL debut.[3]
In the 2019–20 season, Djoos was unable to make the Capitals opening night roster, re-assigned to continue in the AHL with the Hershey Bears. In a top-pairing role, Djoos added 32 points in 42 games with Hershey, appearing in a further 2 scoreless games with the Capitals. With limited NHL opportunities with the Capitals at the NHL trade deadline, on 24 February 2020, Djoos was dealt to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Daniel Sprong.[4]
On 6 May 2020, Djoos signed a one-year extension with the Ducks.
