Johan William Sundström (born September 21, 1992) is a Swedish ice hockey player who is currently playing professionally with Frölunda HC in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

Playing career

Sundström originally signed a two-year contract with Frölunda in September 2010.{{cite news|url=http://hockey.expressen.se/elitserien/1.2143913/johan-sundstrom-far-a-lagskontrakt|title=Johan Sundström får A-lagskontrakt|date=20 September 2010|work=Expressen|language=Swedish|accessdate=2 May 2011|archive-date=21 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721162159/http://hockey.expressen.se/elitserien/1.2143913/johan-sundstrom-far-a-lagskontrakt|url-status=dead}} He scored his first Elitserien goal on December 4, 2010, against Andreas Andersson of HV71.{{cite web|url=http://www.hockeyligan.se/reports/2010-2011/20101204-HV71-FHC-GameReport.html |title=Hockeyligan game statistics for HV71 – Frölunda HC |publisher=Hockeyligan.se |date=4 December 2010 |accessdate=2 May 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110529174446/http://www.hockeyligan.se/reports/2010-2011/20101204-HV71-FHC-GameReport.html |archivedate=29 May 2011 }} Ultimately, Sundström played 41 games out of the 55 regular season games. He joined Frölunda's J20 team for the J20 playoffs.{{cite news|url=http://www.gp.se/sport/1.598381-annu-ett-jsm-guld-till-frolunda|title=Ännu ett JSM-guld till Frölunda|last=Jonson|first=Malin|work=Göteborgs-Posten|language=Swedish|accessdate=2 May 2011}} His team went on to the final, where they won 6–3 against Skellefteå AIK. He was drafted by the New York Islanders in the second round, 50th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

After completing his three-year entry-level contract with the Islanders and featuring in only 11 NHL games in that span, Sundström opted to return to Frölunda as a restricted free agent from the Islanders on a two-year contract on June 12, 2015.{{cite web| url = https://twitter.com/frolunda_hc/status/609272146335002624 | title = Sundstrom returns home | publisher = Twitter | author = Frölunda HC | author-link = Frölunda HC | date = 2015-06-12 | accessdate = 2015-06-12 | language = Swedish}}

On May 25, 2017, Sundström left Frölunda for a second time, signing a two-year contract with Russian club, Avangard Omsk of the KHL.{{cite web| url = http://www.hawk.ru/news/26531/ | title = Hawks sign Swedish center Johan Sundstrom | publisher = Avangard Omsk | date = 2017-05-25 | accessdate = 2017-05-25 | language = Russian}} In the 2017–18 season, he was hampered by injury as he was limited to 5 regular season games for 1 point. He regained his health for the post-season, contributing with 2 goals in 7 games.

As a free agent from Omsk, Sundström opted to continue in the KHL, securing a one-year contract with Chinese outfit, Kunlun Red Star, on September 9, 2018.{{cite web| url = https://twitter.com/khlmediateam/status/1038701433258999808 | title = Red Star sign Sundstrom | publisher = Kontinental Hockey League | date = 2018-09-09 | accessdate = 2018-09-09 | language = Russian}} In the 2018–19 season, Sundström was limited to just 26 games through injury, curtailing his year in producing just 1 goal and 8 points.

After two seasons abroad, Sundström opted to return home to Sweden signing a four-year contract with original club, Frölunda HC, on 10 May 2019.{{cite web | url = https://www.frolundaindians.com/artikel/xsm1ajvhy-24601/tung-duo-tillbaka | title = Big duo are back | publisher = Frölunda HC | date = 10 May 2019 | accessdate = 10 May 2019 | language = Swedish | archive-date = 11 May 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190511074117/https://www.frolundaindians.com/artikel/xsm1ajvhy-24601/tung-duo-tillbaka | url-status = dead }}
