Playing career

Tedenby started his playing career in the Swedish elite league club HV71's youth teams, playing for the under 18 years-team in 2005–06; and both under 18 and under 20 teams in 2006–07 and 2007–08. During the 2007–08 Elitserien season, he was called up HV71's professional team and played in 23 games, scoring six points.[1] During the off-season in 2008, he was contracted for one year by HV71.[2] After playing in 10 games, including one CHL game, with HV71, Tedenby was loaned to IK Oskarshamn in the second tier league, HockeyAllsvenskan. After 13 games, totalling 11 points, he was recalled to join HV71 again.[3]

Tedenby was drafted in the first round, 24th overall, by the New Jersey Devils in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.[4] He signed a three-year entry level contract with the Devils on May 14, 2010.

Mattias was announced as the last of four nominees for 2009–10 Elitserien Rookie of the Year on March 4, 2010.[5]

Tedenby made his NHL debut on November 10, 2010 and recorded an assist on a goal by Jason Arnott in his first game.[6] Soon after, on November 12, Tedenby recorded his first National Hockey League goal on the power play against Devan Dubnyk of the Edmonton Oilers.
