Team Sweden has added defenseman Hampus Lindholm as an injury replacement for Jonas Brodin, according to TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston.

The blueliner missed much of last season with a fractured kneecap.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-4, left-shot defenseman will be replacing Wild defenseman Brodin, who was shut down with a lower-body injury. Sweden is seeking their first Olympic gold medal in men\u2019s hockey since claiming victory at The Winter Olympics in 2006. Lindholm last played internationally for Sweden in the 2018 World Championships and collected six assists in 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>Former Bruins forward Marcus Johansson of the Minnesota Wild was also added to the team, which kicks off their tournament on February 11 against host Italy.<\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from Inside The Rink<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/author\/mattb\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769544558_557_e27aaab36ffede299e324f5880c96e966d988a67e5199a61ed72e84a3934c3ae.png\"  class=\"avatar avatar-75 photo\" height=\"75\" width=\"75\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>              <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/opinion-the-boston-bruins-are-doing-that-thing-again\/\" rel=\"bookmark nofollow noopener\" class=\"featured-image\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <img width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Boston-Bruins-2025-26-300x150.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"Boston Bruins bench 2025-26\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>        <\/a>            <\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetherink.com\/opinion-the-boston-bruins-are-doing-that-thing-again\/\" rel=\"bookmark nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Opinion: The Boston Bruins Are Doing That Thing Again<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Boston Bruins Are Doing That Thing Again (You know the one.)
