    Mika Zibanejad has played a major role for Team Sweden.

    Through Team Sweden’s first two games of the 4 Nations Face-Off, Mika Zibanejad has been given a hefty workload.

    He’s recorded over 20 minutes of ice time in each of his two appearances, serving as the first-line center on a line alongside William Nylander and Rickard Rakell.

    The 31-year-old forward has also slotted on Sweden’s first-power play unit with Nylander, Lucas Raymond, Joel Eriksson Ek and Victor Hedman.

    Zibanejad scored a goal in Sweden’s 4-3 loss to Team Finland, marking his first goal of the tournament.

    The Swedes have lost both of their games in overtime with their hopes of winning the 4 Nations Face-Off getting slimmer and slimmer.
