Playing career

Stenlund made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with HV71 during the 2014–15 SHL season.[1] On 30 May 2015, Stenlund was signed to a two-year first team contract extension to remain with HV71.[2]

On 23 May 2017 Stenlund signed his first NHL contract, agreeing to a three-year, entry-level deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets.[3] In the 2017–18 season, he was returned on loan to continue his development in the SHL with HV71. Stenlund eclipsed his previous points totals in recording 15 assists and 22 points in 43 games before suffering an early exit with the club in the Wild Card round. Having completed the season with HV71, Stenlund was re-assigned to play out the remainder of the season with the Blue Jackets AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters, on 17 March 2018.[4]

On 17 June 2021, Stenlund re-signed with the Blue Jackets on a one-year contract.[5]

As a free agent after five seasons within the Blue Jackets organization, Stenlund was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Winnipeg Jets on 13 July 2022.[6] In the 2022–23 season, Stenlund initially played with AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, before he was recalled and solidified a fourth-line role within the Jets in posting 6 goals and 9 points through 54 regular season games.

Stenlund left the Jets after one season with the club, signing as a free agent to a one-year, $1 million contract with the Florida Panthers on 1 July 2023.[7]
