Sweden selected Rickard Rakell of the Pittsburgh Penguins to its roster for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off, replacing injured Vegas Golden Knights forward William Karlsson.
Swedish national team coach Sam Hallam announced the roster update Tuesday. His team also recently added Philadelphia's Samuel Ersson to fill in for injured New Jersey goaltender Jacob Markstrom.
Rakell, 31, leads his NHL club with 23 goals and ranks second with 45 points in 53 games this season. Karlsson is listed as week to week with a lower-body injury.
