Description

Lucas Pettersson (born 17 April 2006) is a Swedish professional ice hockey player who is a center for the San Diego Gulls of the American Hockey League (AHL) as a prospect under contract to the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted 35th overall by the Ducks in the 2024 NHL entry draft.

Playing career
A product of the Modo Hockey system, Pettersson made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) debut in November 2023, and signed a contract extension through 2027 on 8 December. In 44 games at the J20 Nationell level in 2023–24, he recorded 27 goals and 54 points. He also appeared in five games at the SHL level. Described as a defensive-minded, dual threat passer and shooter with a good snapshot, Pettersson was projected as a late first or early second round pick entering the 2024 NHL entry draft.

On 14 June 2025, Pettersson was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks. It was announced he would continue his development in the SHL, joining Brynäs IF for the 2025–26 season.

In December 2025, he was selected to represent Sweden at the 2026 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He recorded four goals and two assists in six games and won a gold medal. This was Sweden's first gold medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship since 2012.
