Jonathan Dahlén (born 20 December 1997) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player, currently playing with the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League as a prospect for the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Dahlén was rated as a top prospect, and was drafted 42nd overall by the Ottawa Senators in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.[1]

Playing career

In 2016, Dahlén led his team in scoring with 15 goals and 29 points in 51 games.[2] He improved upon this in his second year, leading his team again with 25 goals and 19 assists in just 45 games.[3]

On February 27, 2017, Dahlén was traded by the Senators to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Alex Burrows ahead of the NHL trade deadline.[4] At the conclusion of his season with Timrå IK, Dahlén was signed by the Canucks to a three-year entry-level contact on April 21, 2017.[5] After suffering from mononucleosis during the 2017–18 preseason, Dahlén signed a contract with Timrå IK on October 10, 2017.[6][7] Playing in Sweden in 2017–18, Dahlén was a leading contributor on offense as Timrå earned a promotion to the SHL.[8] Dahlén was announced as the Top Forward and MVP in HockeyAllsvenskan.[9]

On April 12, 2018, it was announced that Dahlén had been reassigned to the Utica Comets of the AHL.[10]

Dahlén attended Vancouver's 2018 training camp and played with the Canucks during the 2018–19 pre-season, before he was re-assigned but back to Utica Comets before the NHL season opener.
