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.
