Mikael Wikstrand, also known as Vikstrand, is a professional ice hockey defenseman from Sweden. He is currently playing in the Kontinental Hockey League with Ak Bars Kazan. After leaving the NHL’s Ottawa Senators preseason training camp in 2015-16, he returned to Sweden and was suspended by the International Ice Hockey Federation.

Wikstrand signed an entry-level three-year contract with Ottawa in 2014. While he was at the Ottawa Senators training camp, he played the season in Sweden on loan with Frolunda HC.

On January 20, 2016, the Ottawa Senators announced that they had come to terms with Wikstrand that would allow him to play professional hockey in his native Sweden, while the Senators retained his North American rights. Wikstrand has been loaned to Färjestad of the SHL, which will allow him to play hockey while staying close to his family home in Karlstad, where Wikstrand’s brother is reportedly battling leukemia.

Wikstrand has represented Sweden at the 2018 Winter Olympics, the 2011 U18 World Junior Championship, as well as at the 2013 World Junior Championship, leading all Swedish defensemen with 4 points.

Wikstrand was 23rd among European skaters according to the 2012 NHL Central Scouting Bureau’s final rankings. However, he was selected by the Senators in round seven of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, which was 196th overall.

Wikstrand caused controversy when he abruptly left the Ottawa Senators’ 2015 pre-season training camp without permission, not even notifying team officials of his departure from camp until he was at the airport about to board a flight back to his native Sweden. Senators general manager Bryan Murray announced shortly afterward that Wikstrand had been suspended by the team. Since Wikstrand is under contract with the Senators, the NHL’s affiliation with the IIHF meant that he was prohibited from playing professional hockey for Färjestad BK or any other club in a league affiliated with the IIHF.
