Adam Edström (born 12 October 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who is a forward for the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected by the New York Rangers in the sixth round of the 2019 NHL entry draft with the 161st pick of the draft.
Playing career In 2018–19 Edström split the season between Mora IK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) and its junior team in the J20 SuperElit. He registered one assist without scoring a goal in 15 games for Mora IK. Edström joined Rögle BK the following season and established himself in the SHL through three seasons with the club.
On 16 May 2022, Edström was signed by draft club, the New York Rangers, to a three-year, entry-level contract. He was on the Rangers' 2022–23 training camp roster but was returned to Rögle BK. After completing the 2022–23 season with Rögle BK he was assigned to the Rangers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Edström was called up to the Rangers on 28 November 2023, but was returned to Hartford later that day without playing a game. He made his NHL debut and scored his first NHL goal on 15 December, in a 5–1 win against the Anaheim Ducks. He was returned to Hartford after the game and was sidelined with an upper body injury shortly afterwards but was recalled to the Rangers on 11 February 2024. Edström referred to his NHL debut upon this recall, saying that "It was a big opportunity, and I think I capitalized on that opportunity the best that I could. Me being back here is a sign that I did something good, so I'm just going to keep going down that road."
After a strong training camp, Edström made the Rangers' opening day roster for the 2024–25 season.
Upon the conclusion of the season, and at the 2026 NHL entry draft, Edström was traded by the Rangers to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a fifth-round pick and Massimo Rizzo on 27 June 2026.
