Timeline
Robert Åke Nilsson (born January 10, 1985) is a Canadian-born Swedish former professional ice hockey forward.
He last played with the ZSC Lions of the National League (NL).
Nilsson began his career in the Elitserien with Leksands IF in 2002–03.
He recorded 21 points in his rookie season, breaking Markus Näslund's 13-year mark for most points by a 17-year-old in the league.
Nilsson was then drafted by the New York Islanders with the 15th overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
He remained in Sweden an additional two seasons, which included a brief, seven-game stint with HC Fribourg-Gottéron of the Swiss Nationalliga A, before joining the Islanders in 2005–06.
Nilsson scored his first NHL goal within a month of his debut on October 29, 2005, against the Buffalo Sabres.
Nilsson, however, struggled to adjust to the NHL style of play and was sent down to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Islanders' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate.
After scoring 28 points (8 goals, 20 assists) in 29 games for the Sound Tigers, Nilsson was recalled to finish the year with the Islanders, recording 20 points in 53 total games during his NHL rookie season.
In 2006–07, Nilsson was sent back to the Sound Tigers to start the season.
He remained with the club until February 27, 2007, when he was dealt to the Edmonton Oilers with Ryan O'Marra and the Islanders' first-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft for Ryan Smyth.
Nilsson transferred AHL teams accordingly and began playing in the Oilers' farm system with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
During a call-up, he scored his first goal as an Oiler on March 15, 2007.
He would go on to record a combined 70 points during his next two seasons with the Oilers.
Nilsson represented Sweden at the 2008 and 2011 IIHF World Championships, winning silver in 2011, as well as at the 2003, 2004 and 2005 World Junior Championships.
Nilsson was born in Canada while his father, Kent Nilsson, was a member of the NHL's Calgary Flames.
The majority of his childhood, however, was spent in Sweden.
He is cousins with former professional ice hockey player Niklas Persson.
On June 30, 2010, the remainder of Nilsson's contract was bought out by the Oilers.
He had one year remaining on his original three-year contract, and would have earned $2.5 million with a $2 million hit against the salary cap.
With this buyout, Nilsson became an unrestricted free agent.
On July 22, 2010, it became known that Nilsson had signed a 2-year contract with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the Kontinental Hockey League.
He transferred to fellow KHL side Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod during the 2011-12 season, where he also spent the following 2012-13 campaign.
Nilsson signed a three-year deal with the ZSC Lions of the Swiss top-flight National League A (NLA) in 2013.
Throughout ZSC’s 2013-14 championship run, he scored 10 goals and assisted on 24 more in 31 games.
He converted the championship-winning penalty in game 4 of the finals against Kloten.
During the 2015–16 season, Nilsson would spend time on a line with coveted draft prospect Auston Matthews, finding chemistry with the young centre, winning the Swiss Cup competition with the Lions that season.
In 2016, Nilsson married Sasha Khabibulin, the daughter of former teammate, Nikolai Khabibulin.
