Karl Henriksson replaced on Sweden’s World Juniors roster

Karl Henriksson has been replaced on Sweden’s 2021 World Juniors roster. Not confirmed yet, but it looks like he tested positive for COVID-19. Henriksson will not participate in team activities and will not be on the roster for the World Juniors.

This is obviously a blow for Sweden, as Henriksson was set to center their top line. As for Henriksson, this was his last year to play in the tournament, so that’s a bit rough for him as well.

Henriksson has been replaced by Oscar Bjerselius.
