Sundström was drafted 175th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1980 NHL Entry Draft.

One of the best players developed by IF Björklöven in Umeå, with whom he played for three full seasons, in 1982 he headed overseas to play in the NHL with the Vancouver Canucks.[1] Sundström played in Vancouver for five seasons before being traded to the New Jersey Devils on September 15, 1987 for Kirk McLean, Greg Adams and New Jersey's second round choice (Leif Rohlin) in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, where he played another five seasons.[2][1]

On April 22, 1988, Sundström set a Stanley Cup playoffs record (since tied by Mario Lemieux)[3] by recording eight points (three goals and five assists) in New Jersey's 10-4 victory over the Washington Capitals in Game 3 of the Patrick Division Final. This broke the previous record of seven points, recorded on three occasions by Wayne Gretzky while with the Edmonton Oilers.[4][5]

After leaving the NHL in 1992, he returned to Sweden to play the 1992-1993 season for Björklöven[1] and was a contributing factor to them being promoted back to the Swedish Elite League (SEL) in 1993.

Sundström scored a total of 588 points (219 goals, 369 assists) in 679 regular season NHL games[1] and 86 points (41 goals, 45 assists) in 115 games in the SEL.
