Playing career

Carlsson made his debut in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2014–15 SHL season, suiting up for Brynäs IF.^[1]

Blackhawks and Panthers

After wrapping up his fourth season in the SHL with Brynäs IF in 2017–18, where he continued to develop his game, Carlsson signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on May 21, 2018.^[2]

In the COVID-19-delayed 2020–21 season, after tallying 1 assist over 12 games with the Blackhawks, Carlsson was traded to the Florida Panthers on April 8, 2021, along with Lucas Wallmark. In return, Chicago received Brett Connolly, Riley Stillman, Henrik Borgström, and a seventh-round pick in the 2021 draft.^[3]

San Jose Sharks

After completing three seasons with the Panthers organization, Carlsson entered free agency during the 2024 offseason. Seeking a new opportunity to further his career in North America, he agreed to terms with the San Jose Sharks on July 1, 2024. The contract was a two-year, two-way deal, allowing Carlsson the flexibility to play both at the NHL level with the Sharks and in the AHL with their affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda.^[4]

On March 21, 2025, Carlsson was recalled by the San Jose Sharks from their AHL affiliate, the Barracuda.^[5] The following day, on March 22, 2025, he made his first NHL appearance since November 1, 2022, and scored the game-winning goal in his debut game with the Sharks.^[6][7][8]
