Team Canada also announced their roster today.
USA Hockey has not announced their roster yes, but Nick Robertson is expected to be recovered from a broken finger in time to make the roster.
Rasmus Sandin should be considered a lock for Team Sweden, the only possible way he wouldn’t make the team is if he’s in the NHL. Their camp announcement should be soon as well.
