Johannes Salmonsson (born February 7. 1986) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who is currently playing for IK Oskarshamn of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). Salmonsson was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins organization in the 2nd round (31st overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. His youth team was Almtuna IS.

Playing career

Salmonsson began his professional career during the 2002 Allsvenskan playoffs with Almtuna. He made his Elitserien debut during the 2003–04 season with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Elitserien. He then moved to North America after two seasons with Djurgården to play one season with the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League during the 2005–06 season. The following year, Salmonsson went back to Sweden, signing as a free agent, to play for Brynäs.[1] During his second season with Brynäs he moved to Rögle of the second-tier league HockeyAllsvenskan.[2]

After three seasons with Linköpings HC on July 17, 2015, Salmonsson left Sweden as a free agent and signed his first contract in Germany with Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) on a one-year agreement. Salmonsson played two seasons with the Sharks before signing with second DEL club, the Iserlohn Roosters.

Following three seasons in the DEL, Salmonsson opted to return to his native Sweden, agreeing to terms after a successful tryout with top flight SHL club, Timrå IK, on November 8, 2018.[3]

International play

Salmonsson has played for the Swedish national junior team at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships on three occasions: 2003–04, 2004–05, and 2005–06.[1][4] At those tournaments Salmonsson played in 17 games and scored 13 points (7 goals, 3 assists).[1][4]
