Jan Sverker Andreas Salomonsson (born December 19, 1973) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey player. He played 71 games in the National Hockey League with the New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals during the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1991 to 2010, was mainly spent in the Swedish Elitserien. Internationally Salomonsson played for the Swedish national team at the 2001 and 2004 World Championship, winning a bronze and silver medal, respectively.
Originally drafted in 2001 by the New Jersey Devils, Salomonsson was claimed on waivers by the Washington Capitals in 2002. Following the 2002–3 season, Salomonsson returned to play for Modo Hockey in the Swedish Elitserien, where he had previously played for many years before his brief time in North America.
On February 11, 2010, Salomonsson retired due to an unhealed groin injury.[1]
