Christian Jonas Berglund (born March 12, 1980) is a retired Swedish professional ice hockey left winger. He last played for BIK Karlskoga in HockeyAllsvenskan, Sweden's second-tier league. Earlier in his career, he also competed in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the New Jersey Devils and the Florida Panthers.

Playing career

Berglund started his hockey career playing in the Swedish Elite League with Färjestads BK and representing Sweden in World Junior Championship tournaments. He was selected in the second round, 37th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft as their third pick. Berglund remained with Färjestad until 2001, when he signed with the Devils. He initially played for their AHL affiliate, the Albany River Rats, before joining the Devils later that same season. On March 1, 2004, he was traded along with Victor Uchevatov to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Viktor Kozlov.{{cite web| url = http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/sverige/allsvenskan/article22409475.ab | title = Berglund retires from professional hockey | website = aftonbladet.se | date = 2016-03-09 | accessdate = 2016-03-09}}

During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, which saw the cancellation of the entire NHL season, Berglund returned to his homeland to continue playing competitive hockey. He rejoined his former club, Färjestad BK, in the Swedish Elite League (Elitserien). Following that year, in the summer of 2005, Berglund opted to further his career in Switzerland by signing with the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the National League (NLA). He became a key player for the Lakers over the next five seasons, establishing himself as a consistent scorer and veteran presence. On April 21, 2010, Berglund decided to return once again to his original Swedish club, Färjestad, signing a four-year contract to bring his experience and leadership back to the team.{{cite web | url = http://www.farjestadsbk.se/showpage.asp?PID=505031296 | title = Christian Berglund back in Farjestad | website = Färjestads BK | date = 2010-04-21 | accessdate = 2010-04-21 | language = Swedish | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20100820000800/http://www.farjestadsbk.se/showpage.asp?PID=505031296 | archivedate = August 20, 2010 | df = mdy-all }} After completing his career with Färjestad and later BIK Karlskoga in the HockeyAllsvenskan, Berglund officially announced his retirement from professional hockey on March 9, 2016.{{cite web | url = http://www.vf.se/sport/ishockey/christian-berglunds-karriar-ar-over | title = Berglund's career is over | website = vf.se | date = 2016-03-09 | accessdate = 2016-03-09 | language = Swedish | archive-date = November 7, 2016 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161107074844/http://www.vf.se/sport/ishockey/christian-berglunds-karriar-ar-over | url-status = dead }}
