Eriksson scored 30 goals and 63 points while playing a full 82-game season for the Boston Bruins in 2015-16. He also scored 10 power-play goals and 17 power-play points, and the Vancouver Canucks, looking to improve their 29th-ranked offense (2.27 goals per game) and 15.8 percent efficiency on the power play, signed the free agent left wing to a six-year contract July 1, 2016.

Selected by the Dallas Stars in the second round (No. 33) of the 2003 NHL Draft, Eriksson remained in Sweden for two seasons before joining Iowa of the American Hockey League, where he scored 31 goals and 60 points in 78 games in 2005-06.

Eriksson made his NHL debut and scored his first NHL goal in a 3-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche on Oct. 4, 2006. He returned to Iowa for 15 games but was called up by Dallas and scored 19 points in 59 games.

Eriksson led the Stars with 36 goals, ranked second with 63 points and led them at plus-14 in 2008-09. He signed a six-year contract with Dallas on Oct. 2, 2009.

Relied upon more heavily to contribute offensively, Eriksson responded with 29, 27 and 26 goals, and 71, 73 and 71 points, respectively, over the next three seasons.

On July 4, 2013, Eriksson was traded to Boston in a seven-player trade that sent Tyler Seguin to the Stars.
