Playing career

After a strong second half to the 2009–10 season where Järnkrok got a regular roster spot on Brynäs, Järnkrok went from 21st among European Skaters in the midterm rankings to fourth among European Skaters in the Central Scouting final rankings for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He was drafted in the second round of the 2010 draft by the Detroit Red Wings.

28 games into the 2010–11 season, Järnkrok led all junior players in points with eight goals and nine assists and was selected to be the second of four Elitserien Rookie of the Year candidates of the season.

On March 5, 2014, Järnkrok was traded to the Nashville Predators, along with Patrick Eaves, as part of a deal that brought David Legwand to Detroit. He was assigned to the Predators AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals. Järnkrok recorded an assist in his NHL debut on March 21, 2014. Järnkrok scored his first NHL goal on March 27, 2014, against Matt Hackett of the Buffalo Sabres.

During the 2014–15 season, in his first full NHL season, he recorded seven goals, and 11 assists in 74 games. Järnkrok posted two goals and seven assists in his first 12 NHL games, including five points in the first five contests of his NHL career, the second-longest point streak by a Predators player in the first games of their NHL career, behind Marek Židlický's six games from October 9-23, 2003. On July 17, 2015, the Predators re-signed Järnkrok to a one-year contract. On July 26, 2016, Järnkrok was again re-signed by the Nashville Predators to a six-year, $12 million contract.
