Niklas Nordgren (born 4 May 2000) is a Finnish professional ice hockey Forward who currently plays as a right wing for Lahti Pelicans of the Finnish Liiga.
Playing career
He represented Finland in the 2018 IIHF World U18 Championships where he won the gold medal, scoring the game-winning goal in the gold medal game on a shorthanded breakaway with Jesperi Kotkaniemi's assistance.[1]
Nordgren was projected as a top eligible draft pick for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, and was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the third round, 74th overall.[1]
Having left HIFK on an initial loan move during the 2020–21 season to Lahti Pelicans, Nordgren's tenure with the Pelicans was made permanent in the off-season after signing a two-year contract extension on 20 May 2021.[2]
