Pettersson is headed back to Sweden to play in the SHL with Brynas in 2025-26, but affirmed his commitment to the Ducks by signing his entry-level deal. The 19-year-old played 29 games in the SHL last year, recording just one point, but he was a major part of Sweden's run to the bronze medal in the 2024 IIHF U18 World Championships, registering eight points to tie for the team lead. He was selected No. 35 overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

Pettersson signed a two-year contract with Brynas of the Swedish Hockey League, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Anaheim selected Pettersson with the No. 35 overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft. While this move delays the 19-year-old's transition to North America, he will be playing at a high level against men, which should help his continued development. Pettersson had an assist in 29 regular-season appearances with the SHL's MoDo in 2024-25. He also provided nine goals and 19 points across 26 regular-season outings with Ostersunds of Sweden's second-tier league.
