Nicklas Tyrone Lasu (born 16 September 1989) is a Swedish professional ice hockey forward, currently playing for Frölunda HC in Swedish Hockey League (SHL). He formerly played with Oulun Kärpät in the Liiga.

After two successful seasons with Kärpät, Lasu left after the 2018–19 campaign, opting to return home to Sweden signing a four-year contract with original club, Frölunda HC, on 10 May 2019. [1]
