Career

Andrew Nielsen began playing ice hockey with the Red Deer Steel Kings in his hometown and came through the Red Deer Rebels , the Red Deer Northstar Chiefs and the Red Deer Elks to the Red Deer Chiefs , with whom he played in the Alberta Midget Hockey League . In the Bantam Draft of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 2013, he was selected by the Lethbridge Hurricanes , for which he was regularly used from the 2014/15 season . In the 2015/16 season , the defender scored 70 points in 71 games and was elected to the WHL East First All-Star Team at the end of the season .

In the 2015 NHL Entry Draft , Andrew Nielsen was selected in the third round in 65th position by the Toronto Maple Leafs , where he signed a three-year entry - level contract on November 24, 2015 . In Ontario, Nielsen came for the Toronto Marlies , the Maple Leafs farm team , in the American Hockey League (AHL). At the Marlies, Nielsen developed into a regular player, making 74 appearances in the 2016/17 season , followed by 65 games in the following season . At the end of the 2017/18 regular season, the Marlies won the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the best point team in the AHL, before the team also secured the Calder Cup in the subsequent playoffs by beating the Texas Stars in the final .

The 2018/19 season began Nielsen with the Marlies, for which he played five games. However, since the defender had not developed as desired by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he was handed over to the Calgary Flames on November 28, 2018 , which in return sent winger Morgan Klimchuk to Toronto. Since then, the defender has been used for the Flames' farm team, the Stockton Heat .

In August 2020, Nielsen left North America and joined EHC Black Wings Linz from the Austrian Bet-at-home ICE Hockey League .
