William Nylander News: Set to play against Italy
Nylander (groin) is in Sweden's lineup for Wednesday's game against Italy in the preliminary round of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Nylander's status ahead of Wednesday's matchup was uncertain after he skipped Tuesday's practice for maintenance. However, he had fully participated in practices beforehand and will be in the lineup against Italy. Sweden may exercise caution later in the tournament, but Nylander is poised to be a focal point of the team's offense in the Olympics.
