Playing career

Lycksell played as a youth within hometown club, IK Oskarshamn, making his professional debut in the HockeyAllsvenskan in the 2015–16 season, before moving to continue his development with top tier club, Linköping HC.[2]

Lycksell continued his junior career with Linköping HC, making his full SHL debut during the 2017–18 season, appearing in 26 games for 5 goals and 7 points.

Following his sixth season within Linköping HC, having appeared in his first full SHL season in 2019–20, and collecting a career high 9 goals and 21 points in 51 games, Lycksell left the club out of contract and signed a two-year contract with Färjestad BK on 2 April 2020.[3]

In his first season with Färjestad in 2020–21, Lycksell matched his previous season output in posting 9 goals and 21 points through 46 regular season games. He added 3 points in six post-season games. On 6 May 2021, he was signed by the Philadelphia Flyers to a two-year, entry-level contract.[4]
