On 7 August 2018, Lundeström signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ducks.

He returned to the Gulls for the 2019–20 season, playing the majority of the season in the AHL, except for 15 games with the Ducks. With the 2020–21 North American season delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lundeström in order to recommence playing signed on loan with Allsvenskan club, Timrå IK, on 5 October 2020. He made 12 appearances with Timrå IK, recording 5 goals and 11 points before he was recalled from his loan spell by the Ducks on 16 November 2020.

A restricted free agent, he signed a two-year contract extension on 25 July 2022 with the Ducks just before going to salary arbitration. In the 2022–23 season, Lundeström appeared in 61 games, scoring four goals and fourteen points. He blocked a shot that broke his finger in a 5–0 loss to the Dallas Stars on 1 December 2022 which caused him to miss 21 games. In the offseason, Lundeström suffered an injury to his Achilles tendon while training that caused him to miss the first half of the season. He returned to the lineup on 3 January 2024 in a 2–1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
