[edit] Playing career

Nordgren was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in Round 8, 195th overall at the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, but remained in Sweden and made his Swedish Elitserien debut with MODO Hockey in 1998-99. Nordgren became a regular in the Elite League with Timrå IK in 2001-02 and played four seasons there.

Nordgren made the transition to North America in 2005-06, and split time between Carolina and their AHL affiliate Lowell before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins with Krystofer Kolanos and a 2007 2nd-round pick at the March 9 trade deadline for forward Mark Recchi.

On 10 May 2006, Nordgren signed a two-year deal with the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, based in Switzerland.
