Nordström made his SHL debut on 23 September 2010 against Södertälje SK.{{cite news |url=http://estat.hockeyligan.se/c/LGameStatistics.aspx?LID=198&GameId=30335 |title=Hockeyligan.se - Statistik |language=Swedish |date=23 September 2010 |work=Hockeyligan.se |access-date=26 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531055354/http://estat.hockeyligan.se/c/LGameStatistics.aspx?LID=198&GameId=30335 |archive-date=31 May 2011 |url-status=dead }} He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks on 29 May 2012, but remained with AIK for the 2012–13 season.{{cite web |url=http://blackhawks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=632642 |title=Blackhawks agree to terms with four |publisher=Chicago Blackhawks |work=blackhawks.nhl.com |date=2012-05-29 |accessdate=2012-06-02}} Nordström made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks on 1 October 2013. He scored his first NHL goal on 11 October 2013 against Kevin Poulin of the New York Islanders. Nordström was sent down to the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL on 21 October 2013,{{cite web|last=Fromi|first=Jon|title=Chicago Blackhawks Farm Report: Joakim Nordstrom Joins Hot Rockford IceHogs|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1818125-chicago-blackhawks-farm-report-joakim-nordstrom-joins-hot-rockford-icehogs|work=Bleacher Report|publisher=Turner Sports and Entertainment Network|accessdate=2 April 2014}} where he played before being recalled back to the Blackhawks on 2 April 2014.{{cite web|last=Neveau|first=James|title=Blackhawks Recall Joakim Nordstrom from Rockford|url=http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/madhouse-enforcer/Blackhawks-Recall-Joakim-Nordstrom-from-Rockford-253576361.html|work=Madhouse Enforcer|publisher=NBC Chicago|accessdate=2 April 2014}}

In the 2014–15 season with the IceHogs, Nordström was the captain of the IceHogs though he played 38 games with the Blackhawks, including three in the playoffs, and was part of the team that won the Stanley Cup in 2015.{{Cite web|title = JOAKIM NORDSTROM NAMED ICEHOGS TEAM CAPTAIN|url = http://icehogs.com/news/icehogs/?article_id=4364|website = icehogs.com|accessdate = 2015-10-27}}{{Dead link|date=March 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{Cite web|title = Former Blackhawks goalie Antti Raanta left off Stanley Cup|url = http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-antti-raanta-blackhawks-stanley-cup-20150929-story.html|website = chicagotribune.com|accessdate = 2015-10-27}}

On 13 March 2015, Nordström was suspended for two games for boarding against Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a game the previous night.{{cite web|title=Chicago's Nordstrom banned two games for boarding| url = http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=757927 | publisher = National Hockey League | accessdate = 13 March 2015}}{{cite web|title=Joakim Nordstrom suspended 2 games|url=http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=778810&lang=en|publisher=National Hockey League|accessdate=13 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150314200506/http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=60&id=778810&lang=en|archive-date=14 March 2015|url-status=dead}}

Approaching the 2015–16 season, on 11 September 2015, he was traded by the Blackhawks to the Carolina Hurricanes with Kris Versteeg as a salary-cutting measure.{{Cite web|title = Blackhawks re-sign Marcus Kruger, trade Kris Versteeg, Joakim Nordstrom to Carolina|url = http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-blackhawks-trade-kris-versteeg-joakim-nordstrom-to-carolina-hurricanes-20150911-story.html|website = chicagotribune.com|accessdate = 2015-10-27}}

After three seasons within the Hurricanes organization, Nordström left as a free agent to sign a two-year, $2 million contract with the Boston Bruins on 1 July 2018.{{cite web| url = https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/bruins-announce-seven-transactions-on-july-1/c-299376766 | title = Bruins announce 7 transactions on 1 July | publisher = Boston Bruins | date = 2018-07-01 | accessdate = 2018-07-01}} Nordström's first Bruins goal came on 12 October 2018, as the third Bruins goal en route to a 4–1 home ice victory against the Edmonton Oilers.{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/bruins/news/pastrnaks-goal-got-them-going/c-300883458 |title=Pastrnak's Goal Got Them Going |last=Russo |first=Eric |date=October 12, 2018 |website=nhl.com/bruins |publisher=Boston Bruins |access-date=October 12, 2018 |quote=Just 5:17 after Pastrnak dazzled the crowd, linemate Brad Marchand struck with his first goal of the season off a fortuitous bounce - also on the power play - before Joakim Nordstrom netted his first as a Bruin only 36 seconds later to cap a nifty give-and-go with David Krejci and provided Boston a 3-1 lead late in the first.}}

At the conclusion of his contract with the Bruins, Nordström left to sign a one-year, $700,000 contract with his fourth NHL club, the Calgary Flames, on 19 October 2020.{{cite web| url = https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flames-sign-forward-joakim-nordstrom/c-319479042 | title = Flames sign forward Joakim Nordstrom | publisher = Calgary Flames | date = 19 October 2020 | accessdate = October 19, 2020}}

Following his eighth season in the NHL, unable to help the Flames qualify for the playoffs, Nordström left North America as a free agent and signed a one-year contract with Russian club, CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), on 4 June 2021.{{cite web| url = https://cska-hockey.ru/news/general/yuakim_nordstryem_stal_igrokom_tsska_/ | title = Joakim Nordstrom becomes a CSKA player | publisher = HC CSKA Moscow | date = 4 June 2021 | accessdate = 4 June 2021 | language = Russian}} In the 2021–22 season, in a checking-line role Nordström registered three goals and 14 points through 27 regular season games. He made two playoff appearances before terminating his contract with CSKA on 4 March 2022 due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.{{cite web| url = https://cska-hockey.ru/news/general/lukas_vallmark_i_yoakim_nordstrem_pokidayut_tsska/ | title = Lucas Wallmark and Joakim Nordstrom leave CSKA | publisher = HC CSKA Moscow | date = 4 March 2022 | accessdate = 4 March 2022 | language = Russian}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolschram/2022/03/08/nhl-suspends-dealings-with-khl-as-russias-ukraine-invasion-impacts-hockey-world/|title=NHL Suspends Dealings With KHL As Russia's Ukraine Invasion Impacts Hockey World|first=Carol|last=Schram|website=Forbes}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2022/03/snapshots-khl-departures-ahl-signings-nhl-trade-market.html|title=Snapshots: KHL Departures, AHL Signings, NHL Trade Market|website=Pro Hockey Rumors|date=5 March 2022 }}

As a free agent, Nordström moved to the Swiss National League, signing a two-year contract with HC Davos on 2 June 2022.{{cite web| url = https://www.hcd.ch/de/news/joakim-nordstroem-zum-hc-davos | title = Joakim Nordstrom to HC Davos | publisher = HC Davos | date = 2 June 2022 | accessdate = 2 June 2022 | language = German}}
