Playing career
Undrafted, Nilstorp's youth team was the Malmö Redhawks. After helping Rögle BK gain promotion to the then Swedish Elite League and later capturing a Championship title with Färjestads BK, on June 5, 2012, Nihlstorp signed a one year, two-way contract with the Dallas Stars.[1] In the 2012–13 season, Nilstorp made his NHL debut with the Stars, appearing in 5 games for 1 win.
In his second season within the Stars organization, Nilstorp failed to establish a NHL roster spot. However, he helped lead affiliate, the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League (AHL), to their first Calder Cup Championship in the 2013–14 season.
Two days after capturing the Calder Cup, Nilstorp opted to return to Sweden in search of a first choice goaltending role on a two-year contract with Växjö Lakers of the SHL on June 23, 2014.[2] Following his two-year stint with Växjö, he returned to the Malmö Redhawks for the 2016–17 season.[3]
On 30 April 2019, Nihlstorp left the Redhawks and the SHL, agreeing to a one-year contract with Austrian club, Graz 99ers of the EBEL.[4]
