Englund made his professional debut in the 2013–14 season, with his youth club Djurgårdens IF of the then HockeyAllsvenskan.[1] Following the club's promotion Englund made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2014–15 season, appearing in 49 games for 5 points in his rookie campaign.
After two full seasons in the SHL marking 95 appearances, Englund left Sweden to pursue his NHL ambitions by signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on April 5, 2016.[2] On December 3, 2016, Englund made his NHL debut with the Senators in a 2–0 victory over the Florida Panthers.
As an impending restricted free agent with the Senators, and facing a delayed 2020–21 North American season, Englund opted to remain in Sweden by agreeing to a season long contract with Västerviks IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on 20 September 2020.[3] Through injury, Englund did not feature with the club, and he sat out the season in its entirety.
With the right's relinquished by the Senators after not receiving a qualifying offer, Englund opted to resume his professional career in North America, agreeing to a one-year AHL contract with the Colorado Eagles, the primary affiliate to the Colorado Avalanche on 28 July 2021.[4] In the 2021–22 season, Englund re-established his career by featuring in a regular role on the Ealges blueline as a defensive defenseman. He registered 2 goals and 12 points through 57 games to help the Eagles reach the playoffs.
As a free agent, Englund was signed to continue within the Avalanche organization by signing a one-year, two-way NHL contract on July 13, 2022.[5]
