Timothy Liljegren should be ready for tomorrow's game. In very early preliminary round play, Sweden has two wins and one loss, and would be expecting to move to the medal round out of their group.
William Nylander is interested in joining the team as well, and said on Monday he would discuss it with Kyle Dubas. Sportbladet is reporting that the team sent two players home, opening up a spot for Liljegren and one more. Everyone believes that spot is for Nylander, and it should be official before Thursday's game.

Thurs, May 18th vs Hungary at 9:20am
Sat, May 20th vs France at 1:20pm
Mon, May 22nd vs Denmark at 9:20am
Tues, May 23rd vs USA at 9:20am
Quarterfinals will take place on Thursday, May 25th in Finland and Latvia.
