Daniel Carl Tjärnqvist (born October 14, 1976) is a Swedish ice hockey defenceman currently playing with Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). His younger brother, Mathias, plays for his previous team, Djurgårdens IF in the Swedish elite league Elitserien.

Playing career

Tjärnqvist is considered a smart player who plays safe and is a good two-way defenceman. He was drafted by the Florida Panthers as their fourth-round pick, 88th overall, in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft however never played a game for the team.

After four years with Djurgården in Swedish Elitserien, Tjärnqvist spent three seasons with the Atlanta Thrashers in the National Hockey League; after the lockout he has played for the Minnesota Wild.

On July 6, 2006, Tjärnqvist signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers.[1] Daniel established himself in the Oilers defense until he was beset with a pubic bone injury, missing the majority of the 2006–07 NHL season.[2] Tjärnqvist, a free agent, then spent the 2007–08 season in the Russian Super League reportedly signing with Ak Bars Kazan,[3] before formally signing a contract with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.

On July 3, 2008, with the option to remain in Russia, Tjärnqvist instead came back for a second stint in the NHL, signing a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche.[4] Tjärnqvist was used primarily as a reserve defenseman before succumbing to a concussion to end his 2008–09 campaign.[5]

On May 24, 2009, Tjärnqvist signed a one-year contract to return to Russia with previous team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL for the 2009–10 season.[6] Establishing himself as Lokomotiv's best defensive defender, he appeared in 54 games, notching 10 points and adding 3 more in Yaroslavl's run to the Western Conference finals. On June 18, 2010, he was re-signed by the KHL team to a further one-year deal.[7]

On June 27, 2011, Tjärnqvist returned to Djurgården in Swedish Elitserien signing a one plus one optional year contract.[8] As an Alternate captain with the club, he was primarily used as a stay at home defenseman and produced 14 points in 45 games during the 2011–12 season.

On May 12, 2012, Tjärnqvist opted not to extend his contract in Sweden and signed a one-year deal with German club, Kölner Haie, of the DEL.[9]
