He went on to play in the National Hockey League for the Minnesota North Stars, Dallas Stars, and Quebec Nordiques between 1992 and 1994. He played in Switzerland with HC Lugano from 1994 to 1998, except for a brief period with HC Bolzano in Italy in 1996-97.
Sjödin then returned to the Swedish Elite League, playing one season with Kloten before returning to his former team, Brynäs IF, beginning in 1999. As of near the end of the 2006-07 regular season he is still active.
February 3, 2007, in an away game against Frölunda, putting Brynäs up 2-1 he became the oldest player ever to score a goal in Elitserien; at the age of 41 years, 5 months and 21 days, breaking Börje Salming's record from 1992.[1]
