Anton Lundell's story
Born 3 October 2001 in Espoo, Anton Lundell moved up through Finland’s junior ranks before breaking into senior club hockey. He spent his formative years with Espoon Palloseura and then HIFK, rising through youth levels to take on U16 competition as a teenager and building the two-way foundations that would carry him to the professional game.
Lundell made his Liiga debut in 2018–19 and quickly established himself as a dependable young centre, improving his offensive totals the following season before play was halted in 2019–20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seen as a top prospect for the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected 12th overall by the Florida Panthers and signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the club on 7 June 2021.
He played his first NHL game on 14 October 2021 and scored his first goal five days later against Tampa Bay. Early in his rookie campaign he produced a standout outing on 31 January 2022, posting five assists in an 8–4 win, and was later named the NHL Rookie of the Month for January after a productive stretch. Following the Panthers’ run to the Stanley Cup in 2024, Lundell agreed to a six-year, $30 million extension the week after the championship, and was part of Florida’s repeat Cup victory in 2025.
Internationally, Lundell has been a fixture for Finland at youth level and beyond: gold at the 2018 U18 World Championship, gold with the junior team at the 2019 World Juniors, a missed 2020 tournament due to injury, then captain of the 2021 junior squad that took bronze with six goals and ten points in seven games. He also won a senior silver medal in 2021 and was a member of Finland’s World Championship–winning team in 2026.
On the ice, Lundell is defined by a two-way approach: dependable defensively, with clean puck management and a knack for creating options offensively. He plays the centre position with positional awareness, distributing the puck effectively and contributing in transition and special teams.
