Sweden selects Rickard Rakell as the 4 Nations injury replacement for William Karlsson
Associated PressSweden 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. We think he’s so deserving.” Sweden’s top international rival, Finland, recently made two replacements on its blue line after Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen was injured and Toronto’s Jani Hakanpää ruled out. We’ll evaluate it and move forward.” Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said after his team’s overtime loss Monday night that Hughes “wanted to gut it out but not the smartest play to play him.” Tocchet said Hughes was also out Tuesday night against Colorado. Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings, also a two-time Cup winner and part of Canada’s Sochi team 11 years ago, is considered among the candidates to take Pietrangelo’s spot, though the 35-year-old has only been back playing for a week since returning from a broken left ankle.
