Playing career
Sundqvist was drafted whilst playing with his original club from youth levels with Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Elite League. He played in his first Elitserien game on 24 October 2012, against Frölunda HC.[1] Sundqvist won the Swedish Championship with Skellefteå in 2014.
On 31 May 2014, Sundqvist was signed to a three-year entry level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.[2]
During the 2015–16 season, Sundqvist was recalled from AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and made his NHL debut with Pittsburgh on 5 February 2016.[3] During the 2016 playoffs Sundqvist was mainly a healthy scratch.
