Sweden picked Jesper Wallstedt and Filip Gustavsson of the Minnesota Wild and Jacob Markstrom of the New Jersey Devils as its goaltenders for the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n

Coach Sam Hallam unveiled the country\u2019s 25-player roster on Friday, with a handful of changes from the 4 Nations Face-Off<\/a> early last year, when Sweden did not lose any of its games in regulation. Gone are goalies Linus Ullmark and Samuel Ersson, defenseman Mattias Ekholm and forward Viktor Arvidsson.<\/p>\n

Among the new faces are Gabriel Landeskog, Philip Broberg, Pontus Holmberg and Alex Wennberg. Landeskog, who returned to hockey<\/a> last spring after missing two full seasons because of a chronic knee injury, is one of just a few players on any team who participated in the Sochi Olympics in 2014.<\/p>\n

Victor Hedman, a notable snub 12 years ago, is on injured reserve<\/a> after undergoing elbow surgery, though the Tampa Bay Lightning expect their captain to return before the Olympic break begins in February. Hedman was among the first six players<\/a> Sweden named to its roster in June.<\/p>\n
