Carl Persson (born June 28, 1995) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward. He is currently a prospect under contract with the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Undrafted, Persson played as a youth with Tingsryds AIF at the J20 SuperElit level. Persson made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with HV71 during the 2014–15 SHL season.[1]
After two seasons in the HockeyAllsvenskan with BIK Karlskoga, Persson returned to the SHL in signing a two-year contract with Karlskrona HK on March 30, 2017.[2] In the 2017–18 season, Persson finished third on Karlskrona with 24 points in 52 games in his first full season in the SHL.
Unable to prevent Karlskrona HK from relegation to the HockeyAllsvenksan, Persson invoked an NHL release clause, in signing a two-year, entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators on May 9, 2018.[3]
