Playing career
Wallmark made his Elitserien debut playing with Skellefteå AIK during the 2012–13 Elitserien season.[1] He transferred to SHL rivals, Luleå HF, with which he spent three seasons the following year.
On 11 June 2015, Wallmark signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes.[2]
During the 2017–18 season, on 30 December 2017, Wallmark scored his first NHL goal with the Hurricanes, in a game against the St. Louis Blues.[3] He was reassigned to the Charlotte Checkers on 8 January 2018.[4] Wallmark was named the Checkers' MVP following the team's elimination from the 2018 Calder Cup playoffs.[5]
In the 2019–20 season, through 60 games Wallmark established a career high 11 goals before he was traded by the Hurricanes at the NHL trade deadline along with Erik Haula, Eetu Luostarinen and Chase Priskie to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Vincent Trocheck on 24 February, 2020.[6] He added one goal and an assist in 7 regular season games with the Panthers before the season was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He returned in the qualifying rounds for the post-season, going scoreless in 2 games.
As an impending restricted free agent, Wallmark was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Panthers, ending his brief tenure with the club on 8 October 2020.[7] As a free agent Wallmark signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on 12 October 2020.[8]
