'''Mattias Erik Timander''' (born April 16, 1974) is a Swedish former professional [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [defenceman](/source/defenceman). He played eight seasons in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) (NHL) for the [Boston Bruins](/source/Boston_Bruins), [Columbus Blue Jackets](/source/Columbus_Blue_Jackets), [New York Islanders](/source/New_York_Islanders) and [Philadelphia Flyers](/source/Philadelphia_Flyers) between 1996 and 2004. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1993 to 2013, was mainly spent in Sweden playing for [Modo Hockey](/source/Modo_Hockey) and [Leksands IF](/source/Leksands_IF).

==Playing career==
Drafted 208th overall in the [1992 NHL entry draft](/source/1992_NHL_entry_draft) by the [Boston Bruins](/source/Boston_Bruins), Timander came over to North America prior to the [1996–97 season](/source/1996%E2%80%9397_NHL_season) and split his first three seasons between Boston and the Bruins primary affiliate, the [Providence Bruins](/source/Providence_Bruins). After spending the entire [1999–2000 season](/source/1999%E2%80%932000_NHL_season) with Boston, Timander was taken by the [Columbus Blue Jackets](/source/Columbus_Blue_Jackets) in the [2000 NHL Expansion Draft](/source/2000_NHL_Expansion_Draft). He spent the next two seasons with Columbus and was traded to the [New York Islanders](/source/New_York_Islanders) for a 4th round draft pick (Jekabs Redlihs) prior to the [2002–03 season](/source/2002%E2%80%9303_NHL_season).

After playing in a career high 80 games in 2002–03, Timander was shifted between the Islanders and their [American Hockey League](/source/American_Hockey_League) affiliate, the [Bridgeport Sound Tigers](/source/Bridgeport_Sound_Tigers), in [2003–04](/source/2003%E2%80%9304_NHL_season). This led to him being traded to the [Philadelphia Flyers](/source/Philadelphia_Flyers) for a 7th round draft pick ([Chris Campoli](/source/Chris_Campoli)) on January 22, 2004. He spent the rest of the season with the Flyers, playing in 34 regular season games and adding to what turned out to be a career high plus/minus rating (+13 w/Flyers, +2 w/Islanders, +15 overall). He also took part in all of his new team's 18 playoff games, coming one win short of a trip to the [Stanley Cup Final](/source/Stanley_Cup_Final).

He returned to Sweden in the off-season to play for [Modo Hockey](/source/Modo_Hockey) in the [Elitserien](/source/Swedish_Hockey_League) where he left after the [2010–11 season](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_Elitserien_season).

On July 25, 2011, Timander signed a one-year contract (with an optional one-year extension) with the [Leksands IF](/source/Leksands_IF) of the [HockeyAllsvenskan](/source/HockeyAllsvenskan).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.leksandsif.se/p/news/20110725/110725-timander-klar/7583 |title=Timander klar för LIF |publisher=[Leksands IF](/source/Leksands_IF) |author=Emil Nilsén |language=Swedish |date=2011-07-25 |accessdate=2011-07-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004080844/http://www.leksandsif.se/p/news/20110725/110725-timander-klar/7583 |archive-date=2011-10-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In May 2013, Timander officially announced his retirement.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.svenskafans.com/hockeyzon/mattias-timander-slutar-480283.aspx | title = Timander announces retirement | language = Swedish | date = 2013-05-04 | accessdate = 2013-05-04 | website = svenskafans.com }}</ref>
