Nils Lundkvist (born 27 July 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL). Lundkvist was selected in the first round, 28th overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers. After two impressive seasons in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) with Luleå HF, Lundkvist made his NHL debut in 2021 with the Rangers. He struggled to keep a consistent spot in the Rangers' lineup, and subsequently requested a trade; he was sent to Dallas prior to the following season.
