Carl Grundström, whose SHL season ended late last week, has been named to the Swedish national team for an upcoming pair of games against Slovakia on April 5 -6.
The roster also includes last year’s Vegas draft pick Erik Brännström and Buffalo pick Rasmus Asplund. From the 2016 draft is Penguins pick Linus Ölund. Notably absent is Rasmus Dahlin, who is expected to go first overall in the coming draft. Dahlin was named to the Olympic team this year, but seems to be getting this series of games off.
Next up is another pair of friendlies against Denmark in that country on April 12-14.
