Flyers Sign Forward Carl Grundstrom to One-Year Deal

The Philadelphia Flyers locked in Carl Grundstrom on October 5, 2026, with a one-year contract worth $1M AAV. It’s a straightforward move—a depth forward with real production over his first season in Philadelphia.

Grundstrom, 28, posted 13 points (9 goals, 4 assists) across 47 games during 2025-26. Beyond the scoresheet, he logged 139 hits, third-most on the Flyers. The 6-foot, 200-pound Swedish forward brings a physical, grinding edge that fits the team’s style.

Last season held a standout stretch for Grundstrom: he scored in four consecutive games from December 22–30, 2025, showing he can get hot when it counts.

Grundstrom’s path to Philadelphia spans eight NHL seasons across three organizations—Philadelphia, San Jose, and Los Angeles. His career record reads 89 points (52 goals, 37 assists) in 339 games, plus 3 goals and 3 assists in 20 playoff contests. The Umea, Sweden native has suited up for his country at four IIHF World Championships (2022, 2023, 2024, 2026).

Grundstrom spent time in the AHL before settling into the Flyers’ regular lineup. He appeared in 19 games with Lehigh Valley and has accumulated 87 AHL points (36 goals, 51 assists) across 118 games over five seasons.
