Playing career[]
Sallinen started his Liiga career with his hometown club, Espoo Blues.[1] In 2008 and 2011, he made the Liiga finals with the Blues, but did not capture the title. On 11 April 2014, Sallinen left the Blues to sign a one-year contract in Sweden with Leksands IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).[2] Leksand was relegated in the 2014–15 SHL season, and Sallinen signed with SHL rivals Djurgårdens IF in April 2015.[3]
He left Sweden at the conclusion of the 2015-16 campaign to further his career in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), landing a deal with HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.[4] In November 2016, he transferred to fellow KHL side HC Kunlun Red Star.[5]
On 14 September 2017 Sallinen was signed to a one-month contract by EHC Kloten, valid through October 15. He was signed as an injury replacement for fellow countryman, Tommi Santala.[6]
As a free agent prior to the 2018–19 season, Sallinen returned for a second stint in Sweden, initially agreeing to a contract with Färjestad BK of the SHL on 22 May 2018.[7] Unable to fully integrate into Farjestad's squad, Sallinen posted 4 points in 9 games before he was released from his contract on 18 December 2018. He remained in the SHL, transferring as a free agent to join Brynäs IF on 28 December 2018.[8]
