After playing for the Lukko youth teams, Nordlund logged his first minutes in Finnland’s top-division Liiga during the 2005-06 season with Lukko.
In 2008, he transferred to fellow Liiga team HC TPS and won the Finnish championship with the club in 2010. After the 2010-11 season, which he also spent with HC TPS, Nordlund was presented with the Juha Rantasila Trophy as the top-scoring defenseman of the league.[1]
From 2011 to 2013, he played with Jokerit Helsinki, before moving to HC Ambrì-Piotta of the Swiss NLA in September 2013.[2] He was brought in to replace injured Maxim Noreau and then stayed with the team for the remainder of the season. In December 2013, he strengthened the roster of Genève-Servette HC at the Spengler Cup[3] and helped win the title, while being named to the Spengler Cup All Star Team.[4]
The 2014-15 season saw him skate in the Swedish Hockey League with Djurgårdens IF.[5]
Nordlund returned to HC Ambrì-Piotta in November 2015.[6] He then signed with Vaasan Sport of the Finnish Liiga for the 2016-17 season.[7]
Nordlund made his debut with Finnland's national team during the 2010 Euro Hockey Tour.[8]
