Filip Johansson (born 23 March 2000) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman for Rögle BK of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).
Johansson made his professional debut with Leksands IF in the HockeyAllsvenskan, after developing through their junior ranks, in the 2017–18 season.
On 23 June 2018, Johansson was selected by the Minnesota Wild in the first round, 24th overall, of the 2018 NHL entry draft.[1]
On 25 March 2020, Johansson left Leksands IF after five seasons within the organization by agreeing to a two-year contract with Frölunda HC.[2]
With the Wild opting not to sign Johansson before his drafts rights expired, he was later signed as a free agent to a two-year, entry-level contract with the Vancouver Canucks on 13 June 2022.[3] He would continue his tenure with Frölunda HC on loan from the Canucks for the 2022–23 season.[4]
At the conclusion of his contract with the Canucks, as a pending restricted free agent, Johansson opted to return to his native Sweden in signing a two-year contract to continue in the SHL with Rögle BK on 16 May 2024.[5]
