Nils David Rundblad (born 8 October 1990) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player currently playing for Skellefteå AIK of the Swedish Elitserien. He was drafted 17th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Professional career

He scored his first Elitserien goal on 14 March 2009, against Linköpings HC. He made a spectacular playoff series against the same team, being influential in their progress to the semifinals for the first time since 1981, nine years before Rundblad was born. In the semi-finals, Skellefteå were knocked out by Färjestads BK, but Rundblad was still regarded as one of the biggest breakthroughs in Swedish hockey that year. For 2009–10, Rundblad is set to keep playing for Skellefteå.

International career

Rundblad represented Sweden at the 2010 World Junior Championships held in Saskatchewan, Canada. Rundblad was an alternate captain for the Swedish team.
