Gustav Rydahl (born September 11, 1994) is a Swedish professional ice hockey centre for Frölunda HC of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

Playing career

Rydahl played in the youth ranks with Färjestads BK before moving to Frölunda HC in 2011. He made his Elitserien debut on October 9, 2012, at Timrå IK.[1] He scored his first Elitserien goal on January 12, 2013, against HV71's Gustaf Wesslau in a 3–4 shootout loss in Scandinavium.[2]

Rydahl signed with the Växjö Lakers in 2014 and helped the team win the Swedish championship his first year, making 62 SHL appearances with five goals that season. After two years with the Lakers, he agreed to terms with fellow SHL outfit Luleå HF in May 2016.[3]

Having claimed the Swedish championship with Färjestad BK in the 2021–22 season, Rydahl left the SHL as a free agent and was signed to a one-year, $750,000 contract with the New York Rangers of the NHL on June 13, 2022.[4][5]

Rydahl started the 2022–23 season with the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, but was called up to the Rangers on January 5, 2023.[6][7] He did not play in the Rangers' January 5 game and was returned to Hartford afterward.[8] Rydahl contributed with seven goals and 15 points through 40 games with the Wolf Pack before he was traded by the Rangers to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for forward Anton Blidh on March 3.[9][10] Acquired to add center depth for the Avalanche affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, Rydahl played out the remainder of his contract in the AHL, posting 2 goals in 12 regular season games before appearing in 3 playoff contests with the Eagles.

As a pending free agent from the Avalanche, Rydahl opted to resume his career in his homeland, signing a five-year contract with his original SHL club, Frölunda HC, on 11 May 2023.[11]
