Sweden named the 25 players representing the men's national hockey team at the 2026 Olympics, including both Minnesota Wild goaltenders.

Team Sweden is the latest to reveal its 25-man hockey roster for the 2026 Olympics in Milan.

After France, Canada, USA and Finland already named their Olympic men's hockey rosters, Sweden revealed theirs, featuring three players who were at the 2014 Olympics, the last time NHL players participated at the Winter Games.

Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, Pittsburgh Penguins defensemen Erik Karlsson and Toronto Maple Leafs D-man Oliver Ekman-Larsson represented Sweden at those Olympics 12 years ago when they won the silver medal. Karlsson finished the competition as Sweden's leading scorer with eight points in six games.

Gustav Nyquist and Marcus Johansson were also on the 2014 team, but they were left off this time around.

The Swedes are coming off a third-place finish at the 4 Nations Face-Off last year. Skaters who were on that team but aren't on the Olympic roster are Nyquist, William Karlsson, Viktor Arvidsson and Mattias Ekholm.

Skaters who weren't at 4 Nations but are on the Olympic squad are Landeskog, Alexander Wennberg, Pontus Holmberg, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Philip Broberg.

Two changes were made for the goaltenders as well.

The Minnesota Wild's tandem of Filip Gustavsson and Jepser Wallstedt made the Olympic roster, along with New Jersey Devils netminder Jacob Markstrom.

Former Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark and Philadelphia Flyers netminder Samuel Ersson were left off the team after making the 4 Nations Face-Off squad.
