He then made his professional debut by skating in 14 games with second-tier Vasteras IK where he logged five assists, before graduating to Frolunda's SHL team where he appeared in 10 games and notched one assist. Edvinsson captured a bronze medal with Sweden to finish the season, picking up four points (1-3-4) in seven games at the 2021 IIHF World Under-18 Championship to lead the team's defensemen in scoring.
