Jonatan Berggren's story
Growing up through Enköpings SK before moving into Skellefteå AIK’s junior ranks in 2015, Jonatan Berggren reached the Swedish senior level in 2017–18 with Skellefteå. A back problem kept him off the ice for much of 2018–19, interrupting his early momentum, but he returned to build the next stages of his career in Sweden’s top league.
Berggren’s offensive emergence came in 2020–21, when he collected 45 points in 49 SHL games and finished sixth in league scoring while sharing the team lead for Skellefteå AIK. At 20 he became one of the few players in SHL history to surpass 40 points in a season at that age, an achievement that underlined his prospect status after being selected 33rd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
In May 2021 he signed a three-year entry-level deal with Detroit and began his North American career with the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL. He spent the entire 2021–22 season in Grand Rapids, setting franchise rookie marks — including 43 assists and 64 points — and earning AHL Rookie of the Month honours for April after an especially productive 14-game stretch. The following season he started in the AHL but was recalled in November 2022; he registered an assist in his NHL debut and scored his first NHL goal on 15 November.
Berggren’s rookie campaign in the NHL produced 15 goals and 28 points, placing him among the league’s leading first-year goal scorers and earning recognition as the 2023 Detroit Red Wings Rookie of the Year by the local sports media association. He changed his jersey number after that season, experienced further movement between the AHL and NHL, signed a one-year contract in September 2024, and in December 2025 was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Blues.
On the international stage he has represented Sweden at youth levels: at the 2018 IIHF U18 Championship he recorded five goals and five assists in seven games en route to a bronze medal, and at the 2020 World Junior Championship he added one goal and four assists in seven games for another bronze. His on-ice profile is defined by playmaking ability combined with a scoring touch.
