Filip Hållander (born 29 June 2000) is a Swedish ice hockey centre currently playing for Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1]
Playing career
[edit | edit source]He was selected by Pittsburgh with the 58th overall pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft. On 15 July 2018, Hållander signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins.[2]
He was returned to continue his development with his original club, Timrå IK, after gaining promotion to the SHL. In the 2018–19 season, Hållander scored 7 goals and 14 assists as a rookie during his first SHL season and was the second-best point producer for Timrå in their qualifying games with 5 goals and 3 assists in 7 matches, in their relegation and return to the HockeyAllsvenskan.
On 29 April 2019, Hållander signed a two-year contract to remain on loan in the SHL from the Penguins with Luleå HF.[3]
On 25 August 2020, Hållander was traded by the Penguins to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with Evan Rodrigues, David Warsofsky and the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NHL entry draft (Rodion Amirov) in exchange for Kasperi Kapanen, Jesper Lindgren and Pontus Åberg.[4] After another season with Luleå, where he recorded a career-high 13 goals in 51 SHL games, his team was defeated in the first round of the SHL playoffs by Skellefteå AIK. That offseason, on July 17, 2021, Hållander was traded by the Maple Leafs back to Pittsburgh, along with a 7th-round pick, in exchange for Jared McCann.[5][note 1]
As a pending restricted free agent with the Penguins, on 28 April 2023, Hållander opted to return to his original Swedish club by signing a five-year deal with Timrå IK, with the club having returned to the SHL in his absence.[8]
Following two productive seasons with Timrå, Hållander enacted his NHL-out clause and was signed to a two-year contract in a return to North America for another stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins on 29 April 2025.[9] He earned a spot on the opening night roster for the 2025–26 season.[10] On 16 October 2025, he scored his first NHL goal, a shorthanded game-winner over the Los Angeles Kings.[11]

Notes
[edit | edit source]- ^ McCann was expected by both Pittsburgh and Toronto to be an expansion draft casualty to the arriving Seattle Kraken; the Penguins used him to re-acquire Hållander and allow another player to be selected from their roster,[6] while the Maple Leafs (who did not have enough space for a protection slot under expansion draft rules) acquired McCann for the purpose of enticing the Kraken to select him over Alexander Kerfoot.[7]
