Lundeström was selected by the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the first round, 23rd overall, of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. On 7 August 2018, Lundeström signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks.[3] Lundeström made the Ducks out of training camp for the 2018–19 season and made his NHL debut on 8 October 2018 in a 3–2 win over the Detroit Red Wings.[4] He played in 15 games with the Ducks before being assigned to Anaheim's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Diego Gulls. He played 12 games with the Gulls, collecting six points before departing to play for the Swedish national team. After returning from the national team, Lundeström was reassigned back to Luleå HF. He played ten games in Sweden, collecting two goals and ten points before the team's season ended. He returned to North America to participate in the Gulls' playoff run which led to San Diego's first appearance in the AHL's conference finals.[5]
He returned to the Gulls for the 2019–20 season, playing the majority of the season in the AHL, except for 15 games with the Ducks.[5] With the 2020–21 North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lundeström in order to recommence playing signed on loan with Allsvenskan club, Timrå IK, on 5 October 2020.[6] He made 12 appearances with Timrå IK, recording 5 goals and 11 points before he was recalled from his loan spell by the Ducks on 16 November 2020.[7] He scored his first NHL goal on 6 February 2021 in a 2–1 shootout victory over the San Jose Sharks.[8] On 1 March 2021, Lundeström recorded his first NHL hat-trick with three goals in the Ducks' 5–4 loss against the St. Louis Blues.[9][10] He signed a one-year contract extension on 6 August 2021.[11]
Lundeström established himself with the Ducks in the 2021–22 season, appearing in 80 games, scoring 16 goals and 29 points. A restricted free agent, he signed a two-year contract extension on 25 July 2022 with the Ducks just before going to salary arbitration.[12] In the 2022–23 season, Lundeström appeared in 61 games, scoring four goals and fourteen points. He blocked a shot that broke his finger in a 5–0 loss to the Dallas Stars on 1 December 2022 which caused him to miss 21 games.[13][14] In the offseason, Lundeström suffered an injury to his Achilles tendon while training that caused him to miss the first half of the season. He returned to the lineup on 3 January 2024 in a 2–1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.[15]
