Niklas Nordgren (born June 28, 1979 in Örnsköldsvik ) is a Swedish ice hockey player who was last under contract with his hometown club MODO Hockey in the Swedish Svenska Hockeyligan until summer 2015 .
Career
Nordgren was selected in the eighth round in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft at 195th position by the Carolina Hurricanes . After he had previously played for MODO Hockey Örnsköldsvik , IF Sundsvall Hockey and Timrå IK in the Swedish Elitserien and HockeyAllsvenskan , he made his debut in the National Hockey League in the 2005/06 season . In 43 games for Carolina, he scored four goals and gave two assists . Shortly before the trade deadline , however, it was handed over to the Pittsburgh Penguins together with Krystofer Kolanos , who in return sent the experienced Mark Recchi to Carolina. For Pittsburgh he completed 15 more games in the season, in which, however, he remained pointless.
From 2006 to 2011 Nordgren played with the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers in the Swiss National League A . In December 2010 it was announced that Nordgren would switch to the Kloten Flyers in the 2011/2012 season to replace Kimmo Rintanen , whose contract was no longer renewed.
He spent the 2012/13 season again at Timrå IK in the Svenska Hockeyligan before returning to his home club in November 2013. After two seasons for MODO, Nordgren did not get a new contract in summer 2015 and has been without a club since then.
