Erik Karlsson (born 28 July 1994) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward. He is currently playing with Timrå IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan (Allsv). Karlsson was drafted in the fourth round, 99th overall, in 2012 by the Carolina Hurricanes.
Playing career
Karlsson developed as a youth in his native Sweden with the Frölunda HC organization. He played in his first Elitserien game on 18 December 2012, against AIK.[1] On May 27, 2014, Karlsson was signed to a two-year, entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.
After two seasons in the American Hockey League with the Hurricanes affiliate, the Charlotte Checkers, Karlsson was continuing to struggle at the North American game. As an impending restricted free agent, Karlsson opted to return to Sweden in agreeing to a one-year contract with Timrå IK of the Allsvenskan on May 11, 2017.[2] His NHL rights were later relinquished by the Hurricanes.
