Playing career edit

Sandström was selected 36th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. Sandström played 983 career NHL games, scoring 394 goals and 462 assists for 856 points, and also registered 1,193 career penalty minutes. Sandström won the Stanley Cup in 1997 with the Detroit Red Wings, assisting on Darren McCarty's game-winning goal in Game 4 of the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals against the Philadelphia Flyers.

After being acquired with Tony Granato by the Los Angeles Kings in January 1990 for former 70-goal scorer Bernie Nicholls,[1] the two newest additions to Los Angeles combined with Wayne Gretzky to form a potent top line in Los Angeles. The line displayed its full dominance in the 1990 first round series against the defending Stanley Cup champion Calgary Flames, particularly in game 4, with both Sandström and Granato scoring hat tricks while Gretzky had a goal and five assists in a 12–4 rout.

Sandström suffered through several serious injuries during his tenure with Los Angeles. In a February 28, 1990 game that set the NHL record for most penalties in a game with 85, he was punched by the Edmonton Oilers' Glenn Anderson, leaving him with a broken cheekbone.[2] A collision with Edmonton's Craig Muni caused a fractured leg in the 1991 Smythe Division Finals.[3] Doug Gilmour of the Toronto Maple Leafs slashed and fractured Sandström's forearm in November 1992.[4] Sandström was a key component of the Kings' run to the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals, after missing most of the regular season with a broken jaw. Sandström finished third in playoff scoring behind Wayne Gretzky and Doug Gilmour.

On February 16, 1994, Sandström was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins along with Shawn McEachern, in exchange for Marty McSorley and Jim Paek[5]

On January 27, 1997, Sandström was traded by the Penguins to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for Greg Johnson.[6] He assisted on Darren McCarty's game-winning goal in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

In August 1997, Sandström signed as a free agent with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim,[7] where he would spend the last two seasons of his NHL career.

Today, Sandström works as a firefighter in Skanör, Sweden.[3]
