2026 Team Sweden Olympic Roster Reveal

Sweden Olympic Roster

Goaltenders

• Jacob Markstrom (NJD)
• Filip Gustavsson (MIN)
• Jesper Wallstedt (MIN)

While many consider Jacob Markstrom to be the number one heading into the tournament, questions have been raised. Minnesota’s tandem of Gustavsson and Wallstedt have been performing at elite levels this season, and you couldn’t go wrong with this choice. For Ottawa Senator fans, it is a bit disappointing not to see Linus Ullmark’s name. On the flip side, this allows him to focus on what he needs to, at this time.

Defence

• Rasmus Dahlin (BUF)
• Victor Hedman (TBL)
• Jonas Brodin (MIN)
• Erik Karlsson (PIT)
• Rasmus Andersson (CGY)
• Oliver Ekman-Larsson (TOR)
• Gustav Forsling (FLA)
• Philip Broberg (STL)

The top defensive pairing is without a doubt one of Dahlin and Hedman on the backend. Rasmus Andersson has been one of the lone bright spots on the Flames, although recently finding themselves just three points out of a playoff spot. Andersson’s play is a key reason for that and a lock to be involved in the Swedish process.

Forwards

• Adrian Kempe (LAK)
• Gabriel Landeskog (COL)
• William Nylander (TOR)
• Lucas Raymond (DET)
• Leo Carlsson (ANA)
• Elias Pettersson (VAN)
• Jesper Bratt (NJD)
• Filip Forsberg (NSH)
• Alexander Wennberg (SJS)
• Mika Zibanejad (NYR)
• Elias Lindholm (BOS)
• Joel Eriksson Ek (MIN)
• Pontus Holmberg (TBL)
• Rickard Rakell (PIT)

Gabriel Landeskog’s comeback after being away from the game for so long is something to be admired. After missing three full seasons due to injury and return and look like he did before the injury is nothing short of miraculous.

Among the forwards not going for the Swedes, it is confirmed that Vegas Golden Knights star William Karlsson will be unavailable due to injury. A massive blow given that Karlsson has been one of the best Swedish goal scorers of the past decade.

Sweden is looking for its third Olympic gold medal, with their most recent being in 2006, in Turin, Italy. It was the year that Canada, controversially, elected to keep Sidney Crosby and Patrice Bergeron off the roster. Currently they are third highest favourites to win.
