Before leaving Sweden, Lander played for Timrå IK in the Elitserien, where his father, Anders Karlsson, is currently head coach.[1]

Playing career

Lander broke into the Swedish Elitserien during the 2007–08 season as a centre for Timrå IK. He had also represented Timrå in the junior league between the 2006–07 and 2008–09 seasons. Lander was named one of the alternate captains for the team on September 22, 2009.[2]

On April 28, 2011, Lander signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers, and committed to play in North America from the 2011–12 season.[3]

Lander scored his first NHL point, an assist on Lennart Petrell's first NHL goal, on November 3, 2011, against the Los Angeles Kings. Lander's first career NHL goal was scored on November 17, 2011, a short-handed goal against Craig Anderson of the Ottawa Senators.[4]

Demoted to the Oilers' farm team in Bakersfield in 2016, and later placed on waivers, Lander signed a contract on May 25, 2017 with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL.[5]

After two productive seasons with Ak Bars, Lander left as a free agent following the 2018–19 campaign, to sign a two-year contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl on May 1, 2019.[6]

International play

Lander represented Sweden in the 2010 World Junior Championships held in Saskatchewan, Canada. He served as an alternate captain for the Swedish entry.
