Professional
Rundblad scored his first Elitserien goal on March 14, 2009, in a playoff game against Linkopings HC. NHL Central Scouting ranked Rundblad sixth among European skaters for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, one spot behind Skelleftea AIK teammate Tim Erixon. The following season, Rundblad remained with Skelleftea and scored his first regular season goal on January 30, 2010 against Mattias Modig of Lulea HF, a goal that ended up being the game-winner.
On June 10, 2010, it was announced that Rundblad had signed an entry-level contract with St. Louis. On June 25, 2010, he was acquired by the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the 16th overall pick in 2010, which the Blues used to select Vladimir Tarasenko.
Rundblad finished the 2010–11 season with 50 points in 55 games, the second highest point total of any defenceman in Elitserien history, after David Petrasek, who had 53 points (in 52 games) in 2009–10.
Rundblad attended his first Senators camp in 2011, and remained on the roster into the season. Rundblad made his NHL debut on October 11, 2011, against the Minnesota Wild. Rundblad's first NHL point was an assist on a goal by Peter Regin on October 15 in a game against the Washington Capitals. His first NHL goal came on November 27, 2011, against Cam Ward of the Carolina Hurricanes.
On December 17, 2011, Rundblad was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes (along with a second-round draft pick) for forward Kyle Turris. Rundblad participated in the AHL All-Star Classic in Providence, Rhode Island, on January 28, 2013. He scored six goals and had 17 assists for 23 points in 32 games before the break. On March 4, 2014, Rundblad (along with defenceman Mathieu Brisebois) was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a second-round pick in 2014.
