On July 9, 2011, Lundin signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Minnesota Wild. ^[4] During the 2011–12 season, due to injury and limited impact Lundin appeared in only 17 games with the Wild, registering 2 assists.

On August 24, 2016, Lundin agreed to a one-year contract with EHC Biel of the National League A (NLA). ^[7]

On April 27, 2017, Lundin signed a two-year deal with Jokerit of the KHL. Lundin had previously played in the KHL from 2013 to 2016. ^[8] Lundin was limited through injury to just 23 games in the 2017–18 season.

Prior to his second season with Jokerit, Lundin announced he would not play the season due to continuing injury issues, effectively ending his tenure with the club. ^[9]
