Ludvig Jansson's story
He was already playing against grown men in Sweden’s second tier as a teenager, an early test that shaped his on-ice judgement. Ludvig Jansson began his senior career with Södertälje SK in HockeyAllsvenskan, where he developed the positional discipline and breakout skills that would define his style. Those years laid the groundwork for a move up to the Swedish elite.
Selected 125th overall in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Entry Draft by the Florida Panthers, Jansson progressed to Luleå HF in the SHL. In his first full season at that level he recorded three assists across 50 regular-season games. The following campaign he posted one goal and three assists in another 50-game slate, gradually carving out a regular role on Luleå’s blue line.
The playoffs of 2025 were a notable chapter: he added two assists in 17 postseason games as Luleå captured the Le Mat Trophy for the first time since 1996. Shortly after, on 6 May 2025, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Panthers. For the 2025–26 season he was assigned to the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL on 29 September 2025 to continue his transition to the North American game.
In his rookie AHL season he tallied three goals and seven assists in 29 games before Florida, forced by injuries among its regular defencemen, recalled him on 9 April 2026. He made his NHL debut that same day against the Ottawa Senators and logged 13:37 of ice time. He finished his brief NHL stint with one assist in four games and was returned to Charlotte on 17 April 2026 after the Panthers’ regular season ended.
Internationally, Jansson represented Sweden at back-to-back World Junior Championships. He was scoreless across four games in 2022 but earned a bronze medal with the team; in 2023 he tied for the team lead with 4 goals and 6 assists in seven games, leading all tournament defencemen with 10 points and earning a spot on the media All-Star team. His game is marked by steady defensive positioning, calm puck movement out of his zone and the ability to contribute secondary offence from the blue line.
